To be fair, I agree that fist-pounding in a government office is not appropriate.

I only had to see the headline to know…
I’m sure that bulk buys by evangelical churches will make her book a “bestseller.”

Because when you make yourself a public figure noted for homophobia of course you get hate mail.
When people make themselves into public figures noted for being against homophobia they tend to get hate mail including death threats.
If she was getting death threats or other threats of violence, then that is in fact super shitty. If she was just getting people in the public communicating to her, a public official, that she’s an awful person for refusing to do her job based on the sexual orientation of the people requesting her services, then that’s not even close to a disproportionate consequence.

"Liberty Council" sounds like the name for a b-rate comic book series from the late 1950s. Or the name of the BEST Pet Shop Boys/The Oak Ridge Boys cover band EVAH!

I’m not gonna Google it but if the porn industry hasn’t made a series of films based on The Fist and the Furious yet then someone is asleep at the wheel.

From the linked article (emphasis mine):
The book is co-authored by John Aman, director of creative services for Liberty Counsel, and Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel.
Proceeds will go to the counsel, a spokesperson said.
BTW, one of the men she denied a license is running for her job.

That’s a new and rather shitty wrinkle on pro bono representation that I haven’t heard of before. “We won’t bill you, but if you become famous, you have to let us get all the financial benefit from your fame.” Although I suppose it’s really quite apt for the era of Trump.
So, I am dying to know, are they paying her anything for her time, or is she writing the book for them pro bono?
