As one thread said, We are Kim Davis
Or should be. I have said before that the church needs to see its pastors jailed for refusing to salute the flag of Sodom, in order for it to wake up. But who knew it would start with a simple civil servant.
And who is quite qualified for the job:
Her mother had been county clerk for nearly 40 years before her, and for 26 of them Davis had worked under her as deputy. ...
Because she is an elected official, Davis, a Democrat, cant be fired from the position for refusing to comply with the court order. If she is found guilty of misconduct, Davis could be imprisoned for up to a year, according to the Louisville Courier-Journal. The state legislature can also vote to impeach her, the paper noted, though that seems unlikely since most Kentucky voters oppose same-sex marriage. -
...Though most of the countys inhabitants dont claim religious affiliation, according to the Association of Religious Data Archives, those who do are mostly evangelical Christians.
An Apostolic Christian, Davis wrote in her statement that her refusal to license a gay marriage is a Heaven or Hell decision. I want to continue to perform my duties, but I also am requesting what our Founders envisioned that conscience and religious freedom would be protected, she continued. That is all I am asking. I never sought to be in this position, and I would much rather not have been placed in this position. - http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/09/02/meet-kim-davis-the-ky-clerk-who-defying-the-supreme-court-refuses-to-issue-gay-marriage-licenses/
