Anyway, I'm reading the Danville Register & Bee today & there's an uproar in Morehead, KY today because a county court clerk named Kim Davis, is refusing to issue not only gay marriage certificates but certificates to straight couples as well. Several county clerks along the Bible Belt are refusing to issue any marriage licenses. Saying it goes against God & their personal beliefs. Well, whatever happened to the separation of church & state? This is a law that has been passed by the Supreme Court. It's not about God or your own personal beliefs. You do what you were sworn into office to do: uphold the law. Laws change all the time & I'm sure these people knew that going in. They are arguing that gay marriage was not a part of the law when they were sworn in. Therefore, they do not & should not have to abide by that law or enforce it. Hey, do your job or step aside & let someone else do it! A few are also declining to step down so that someone who is bias can issue the licenses. How can they refuse to step down?! Fire them! Make them leave! I'm sorry but gay couples should be able to do everything a straight couple can do! Marriage should be no exception. They are people, not animals & shouldn't be treated as if they are!
Homosexuality is an endless debate, much like abortion. People should agree to disagree & move on to something else. But those that fight the good fight deserve to have what everyone else has. Nothing more. NOTHING LESS.
