Yes, H.F. Haymore, that microphone is on. Hoo Boy.<\/p>\n

Dan River Region clerks react to possible same-sex marriages<\/a><\/h4>\n

(Register & Bee link. Paywall may apply unless you break through it.)<\/p>\n

Let’s make this clear right now. I don’t give a damn what your opinion of gay marriage is. That’s up to your and your own beliefs.<\/p>\n

That being said, the national mindset is shifting to be accepting of it. Recent court decisions have shown that to be the case.<\/p>\n

H.F. Haymore is a damned good man. He’s been elected numerous times to the Clerk of Court constitutional office and has always done a good job with it. He’s never done anything wrong or horrible, so I’m not going to blast him as a person.\u00a0 I’m disappointed in his quote, but that’s only my viewpoint.<\/p>\n

I’ve got two problems with this situation though. First, he’s a constitutional officer and he’s sworn to perform his duties as prescribed by law. His personal opinion on the “sickening” factor of the potential changes is irrelevant to his job duties. Second, he’s been in the media spotlight enough to know that you just don’t say things like that in front of any reporter. Denice Thibodeau did her job by reporting that quote accurately.<\/p>\n

I’ve got no doubt that H.F. Haymore will perform his job duties and do what is told for him to do by the Attorney General’s office. I’m just disappointed in what he said and the circumstances on how he said it.<\/p>\n
