West Union mayor blasted for anti-gay posts

The Mayor of West Union, S.C. has decided to come out.

Against gay marriage, that is.

Here's an excerpt: (and yes, the article below appears to have some fun at the Mayor's expense)

WEST UNION, SC (FOX Carolina) -

When you hit Hwy 11 into Oconee County, you probably rolled through the small town of West Union, SC and didn't know it.

Nearly 300 people live in the town and it's run by Linda Oliver, who was elected as mayor.

"I don't want it rammed down my throat," Oliver said.

She's talking about a same-sex marriage. Recently, the register of deeds in Buncombe County, NC allowed 11 same sex couples to apply for marriage licenses and she disagrees with it.

"All I can say is if people want to crucify me that's fine. I know that following Jesus, I'm going to be crucified," Oliver said.
