Madonna's Brother Defends Jailed Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis
Christopher Ciccone, who is openly gay, posted a message to Facebook on Friday in which he said that Kim Davis should be granted the right deny the licenses, with Ciccone citing her "religious freedom."
His post:
- The county clerk in Kentucy deserves about as much support as you
would give her if she were a muslim women who insisted on covering her
face and refused not only gay marriages licenses, but divorce,
accusations of rape and driving a car without ur mans
approval.....perspective is everything.....this woman is a civil
servant, she is required to follow federal law.....but why should
she....when DOJ and other civil authories don't follow federal law when
they choose not to.....i.e. Washington State and Colorado (POT) come to
mind...or the abstract notion of "sanctuary cities".....i always thought
that sanctuary was the province of churches.......these things
aside....this is why we have elections.....if the folks of this county
in Kentucy don't want her as the county clerk....then don't have to vote
for her.....that is how a democracy works....not to mention the courts.
- In the mean time.....since when are we the arbiter of other
peoples faith?.......can you honestly say that you know how much a
person is allowed to have??..if i'm not mistaken, it's in the
constitution.....something about religious freedom or
something......selective shaming and bullying corrupts a
democracy....freedom of press, speech and religion give it strength. Not
to mention reason and the god given compassion we as humans have a
right and responsibility to practice. Once again, the gay community
feels the need to be sore winners. Is it so difficult to allow this
women her religion?...or must we destroy her in order for here to betray
her faith. No matter how we judge its truth. The rights we have all
fought for, mean nothing, if we deny her hers.
