They Doth Protest Way Too Much
When Indiana social conservative activists Monica Boyer and Micah Clark went nuts over a simple welcome letter by Governor Mike Pence to Indy Pride, I knew we had gone down the rabbit hole and fell straight through the looking glass.
The letter Pence sent was pretty standard stuff, granted in the post-RFRA world everything takes on extra meaning. However if you were Clark or Boyer you could have swore the Governor was welcoming the Manson family reunion to town.
You can read Pence’s actual letter here.
You can read Clark’s “response” here.
And if you’re up for some insanity, you can read Boyer’s blog post here.
What Boyer and Clark forget is that if they want to blame someone for the situation Indiana is in, they should get a mirror. They were the one who pushed HJR-3 and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). “Traditional” marriage and religious freedom were never under attack in Indiana. So there was no need for HJR-3 or RFRA.
However, these guys for either personal or financial reasons decided to go down this road and here we are.
So for all the moaning, weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth if Clark and Boyer want to get mad at someone. Don’t point a finger at Indy Pride or Governor Mike Pence, they should get a mirror. Of course, in Boyer’s case I can see why she wouldn’t want to do that.
