Celebrating Bigotry

A criminal bigot receives a heroes welcome


Kim Davis the bigot who defied the law, failed to do her appointed duty,  and refused to issue marriages licenses, was released from jail into a hate rally where religious extremists praised her as a hero.
That's right, these "christians" openly praised her discrimination, her criminal refusal to do what the court has ordered, her refusal to follow the American constitution. She discriminated against gays, lesbians and religions that do accept the natural variation in human sexuality, and straight people were also discriminated against, by her, and she is being praised...



What offended me more was that some people have been identifying her with those who fought for African American rights.  When a much more accurate comparison would be that when America ended the Anti-miscegenation marriage laws, she would have been refusing to marry anyone because she didn't like interracial marriages.


She has also astonishingly been likened to a Jew under Nazi rule! This is down right offensive, it totally disrespects the over
100,000 homosexuals who were persecuted by the Nazis, not to mention the actual Jews who were victims of The Holocaust. Seeing as though she is the one discriminating, and being bigoted, i really do question what side of history she would have been on if she had actually been there. 


Her stance is indefensible, she is failing to do her job, she is defying the constitution, the law and the courts. She is denying the fundamental rights of others because of her interpretation of her chosen religions current version of marriage, which has noting to do with the legal definition.




Lets say i am Wiccan (my religious beliefs prevent me from eating meat), and i work at a vegan food store, now the owner decides to allow some fish pasta on the menu. 
I do not have the right to stop serving customers pasta. It does not impede my religious rights that the shop now serves fish pasta. If my religious beliefs do not fit with what my job entails it is up to me to seek more suitable employment. In fact if i had refused to sell fish pasta to a Catholic on Lent or Good Friday, i would be discriminating against them and their religion.




 Lets not forget that no one religion owns marriage, that it existed in many forms before Christianity and that the christian definition has changed over the years. Kim Davis definition does not reflect history, the law, other religions definitions or even other Christians definitions, that is why the freedom of religion laws are there to protect innocent people from arrogant people like Kim Davis.


The fanatical anti-gay and religious bigots seem to be trying to portray Kim Davis as some kind hero, when it is she who is breaking the law, she who is defying the constitution, she who is forcing her beliefs on others, she is the one against freedom of religion, it is she who is discriminating and being bigoted. Don't fall for it, not for one second. This is about anti-gay hate and the homophobes not liking that their views are losing favor.



 I call upon all Christians to contact there churches and demand that their religious leaders condemn this woman's actions, and renounce any implied support of her.
