Summary:
Kentucky clerk, Kim Davis, is currently attempting to force Governor Steve Beshear to exempt her from issuing marriage licenses to gay couples with assistance of an appellate court. Davis believes that she should be allowed to deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples due to her Apostolic Christian religious beliefs which recognizes marriage to be between a man and a woman..
Analysis:
Whether or not the governor grants Kim Davis' wish, I feel as if this whole matter is ridiculous. I do agree with the fact that she was sent to jail do to her refusing to issue out same-sex marriage licenses, seeing as how the law was just passed making it legal. I do not believe there should be special exceptions to a country wide law! Personally I think that if her religion causes her to not be able to fulfill her job, that she needs to resign and find another profession as she cannot meet all aspects of her current one. Just like how when the law making it legal for women to vote was passed, if for some reason you didn't believe that that females should have been granted this right, then you should have just avoided all jobs that were related, not demand that exceptions be made due to your opinions and beliefs.

ReplyDeleteIf your working for the state shouldn't you put all your personal beliefs behind you when you walk into your job? I just feel like people just have messed up priorities and are fighting a fight that is already over.
