One of the things that is a classic trope of the religious bigots is while they are denying people their rights, they claim that their rights are being denied, while they are persecuting people, they claim to be persecuted, while they are behaving colossally offensively, they claim to be the offended party; it's an upside down world.
Could you imagine any other public servant who insists on the right to collect a paycheque for not doing her job, being so warmly embraced by every high profile Republican imaginable? The GOP might as well rebrand itself as the Religious Nutcases and Froot Loops Party.

These are the same people who, with a straight face, said that being made to treat black people like humans was "violating their southern traditional way of life and an offense against states rights".
