Do Your Job, Kentucky Kim Davis!

What a bizarre day. The NYSE went down for several hours, United Airlines stopped flights for a time, the Wall Street Journal's website went down. Oy! But the story that really got my attention today was Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis refusing to issue a marriage license to a gay couple who came to the clerk's office to get one. These kind of stories have been in the news a lot lately since the SCOTUS ruling a week or so ago, but I was shocked to read about the latest case because the Kentucky clerk and I share the same name. Kim Davis denies a gay wedding license? What? From this Kim Davis to the Kentucky one, do your job, lady! If you were hired to issue marriage licenses, issue them or get another job. I bet Kim's religious beliefs didn't stop her from issuing licenses to heterosexual couples who may have been previously divorced or who were former (or current) adulterers or spousal abusers. People like Kentucky Kim are the same kinds of people who probably refused to issue marriage licenses to interracial couples after the law was passed allowing people of different races to marry. Ridiculous.
