Ever since the the Supreme Court recently refused to hear multiple marriage equality cases, effectively bringing marriage equality to well over half of the United States, we have been witnessing temper tantrums for the ages from anti-gay folks who can’t bring themselves to live in a nation where they have to play by the same rules as everyone else. Their grievance tends to be that equality for gay and lesbian couples somehow violates their “religious freedom,” and their explanations are getting sillier and sillier. Last week, we had a couple from Kansas who sought to intervene in that state’s marriage equality case, claiming that the extension of marriage equality amounted to a literal theft of their heterosexual marriage. The court quickly smacked them down.
This week, though, somebody has outdone that Kansas couple. In South Carolina, a man named Don Boyd has filed a motion arguing that marriage equality in that state will quite literally force him to stop worshiping the Lord. How could this be, you ask? How will Betty and Darlene’s upcoming nuptials stand between Don and his worship? Like this:

You see, Don will be quite literally forced to stop worshiping God, so that he may attend to the more pressing task of protesting and crashing gay weddings. One might suggest that he sit down with his calendar and block off different times of the day for different activities, but no, Don can’t do that.
