  • The county clerk who refused gay marriage, is seeking re-election

    Kim Davis, who refused to issue marriage licenses to gay people, is seeking re-election as a county clerk.

    During 2015, Kim Davies, 52  stubbornly refused to issues marriage permits to gay couples in her state of Kentucky. It’s now come to light that she is running for re-election – despite her jail time. Five couples sued her and a judge even ordered her to issue the licenses.

    She assumed the office in 2015 after filing as a Democrat candidate for county clerk. She narrowly won the vote with 53.2 percent of the vote. She has now moved from being a Democrat to a Republican.

    According to Fox News, Mat Staver, the founder of the law firm who represents Davis said, “She loves her job and she loves the people,”

    “I’m sure (the election) will probably have more attention because of who she is, but you know she doesn’t have any major concerns about it.”

    After her release from jail, Davis modified marriage licenses so that her name would not be included. The state legislature changed the law soon after so that clerks do not have to sign their names on licenses.

     

  • Designer Marco Morante Pays Homage To Kim Davis – Sort Of

    Morante raised eyebrows and smiles by wearing a simple black t-shirt with a picture of Kim Davis on it at the exhibition of his 2016 spring fashion show.

    However the picture had been doctored and someone added a big black dildo, complete with massive balls to the picture, making it look like the anti-gay marriage Rowan County clerk is celebrating the power of sex toys.

    The clerk, who has married four times, holds a strong religious belief that same-sex couples should not be afforded marriage licenses, despite it being the law of the land, and has stated that she should be exempt from discharging that part of her job. She spent 6 days in jail because of her refusal to sign or give out licenses to gay couples last month.
