Anti-gay Kentucky County Clerk Likens Herself to an Anti-War ‘Conscientious Objector’
Anti-gay Kentucky County Clerk Likens Herself to an Anti-War ‘Conscientious Objector’
The lawyers for Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk being sued by the ACLU for refusing to issue licenses to gay couples, have an eye-rolling new justification for Davis’ refusal to do her job.
The Courier-Journal reports:
Like a noncombatant who cannot shoulder a rifle, a county clerk who cannot issue” same-sex licenses “can still faithfully and devotedly serve this country, and their county,” lawyers for Kim Davis argued in a pleading filed Thursday in U.S. District Court.
Asking Judge David Bunning to deny an injunction forcing Davis to begin issuing licenses again, attorneys Roger Gannam and Jonathan Christman from the Orlando-based Liberty Counsel note that Kentucky law allows county clerks an exemption from issuing fishing and hunting licenses.
“If Kentucky is able to accommodate personal beliefs and conscientious objection regarding something that is (to some) as trivial as fishing and hunting, surely Kentucky can and must provide similar accommodation for deeply held beliefs about the fundamental nature of marriage,” they said in their pleading.
Davis is being repped by the anti-gay Christian legal group Liberty Counsel. Earlier this month, a bill was introduced in the Kentucky House of Representatives allowing county clerks to refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on religious grounds.

Chi Chi LaRue “Really, Really Appreciative” Of Everyone Footing His Bill For Rehab
Earlier this week we asked why Chi Chi LaRue was crowdsourcing his path to sobriety, and a quick scroll through the comments section of that post reveals that most readers were just as puzzled.
But that hasn’t stopped the fundraising efforts from quietly gaining traction. The current tally shows $10,300 of the $40k goal in the bank.

This morning, Chi Chi posted a video update from the Hazelden Betty Ford Center in Minnesota after completing 30 days in treatment.
“I just wanted to say that I’m really, really thankful and grateful and appreciative of everyone that has helped me emotionally and financially with this journey. Um, the cards and letters have been amazing, and you guys sending me coffee and green straws made it better. Thank you for donating to my Gofundme page. It’s humbling, and, uh, weird but it’s something I’ve had to do because I’ve screwed up a lot, and I really appreciate your help…Here’s to another 30 days of getting better so I can be better for you guys.”
Watch below:
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Stay strong, girl! We may find your fundraising efforts a bit unorthodox but don’t think for a second we aren’t rooting for your recovery.

Will & Grace actor Leslie Jordan confronts men yelling anti-gay slurs
Will & Grace actor Leslie Jordan confronts men yelling anti-gay slurs
Actor Leslie Jordan, who is best known for his appearances on Will & Grace, confronted three men who were yelling anti-gay slurs at him on Wednesday in a West Hollywood Starbucks.
According to a witness , the openly gay actor, who is 60 and known for his small 4-foot-11 stature, followed the men outside the Santa Monica Boulevard coffee shop after he was verbally attacked.
Jordan was reportedly seen throwing his iced tea at the man when one of the men lunged at him.
‘Get out of our house. Get out of here,’ witness Joseph Daniels recounted to CBS2/KCAL9 news what he saw Jordan do.
‘I just think he’s a Southern belle that snapped,’ referring to the Tennessee-born and raised actor.
Although no charges were filed, a sheriff’s official said deputies documented the disturbance as a ‘hate incident.’
The three men were released after being questioned and arrested by Sheriff’s deputies arrived on the scene.
CBS News said Jordan’s actions have made him a hero to many in West Hollywood.
‘He stood up for the community, for all of us,’ local resident Pati Arana was quoted as saying.
Jordan said in a Facebook post on Friday night, ‘I was hoping to remain silent on the incident at Starbucks but somehow the story found legs and has made its way into the press.’
He clarified that it was a ‘”sweet” iced tea,’ and not coffee as reported in some news stories.
‘I am a “sweet” mannered Southern boy who was taught not to start a fight. Nobody ever told me I could not end one. I refused to sit and watch these hate crimes continue. I guess our work for equality is not done yet!
‘I’m being hailed a hero which is all well and good but I lost my temper. My heroes in life always kept their cool.’
