"A lifelong Democrat, Davis recently switched to the Republican party as the GOP continues to make historic gains across the state."

::)

many like to pick and choose.  it's okay for her to have 4 hubbies and make babies while cheating on them with each other. 


BUT when 2 same-sex people want a monogamous marriage, she ain't having that bullshit.



be consistent - either marriage is important and to be honored, or it's not... but her ass being a slut, cheating in wedlock, and at the same time screaming others aren't respecting marrige?  GTFO, can't have it both ways.

Kentucky House Passes Bill for Single Marriage License Form

Friday, 25 Mar 2016
 
With the blessing of  Kentucky's Republican governor, the state House passed a bill to create one marriage license form for gay and straight couples in an effort to defuse controversy over gay marriages.

The proposal is a response to Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, who spent five days in jail last year for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis said she could not issue the licenses because they had her name on them.

The bill that cleared the Democratic-led House without debate Friday proposes that a marriage license applicant would have the option of checking "bride," ''groom" or "spouse" beside their name. It would not have the clerk's name on it.

The next step for the measure is a return to the Republican-led state Senate, which passed a starkly different version last month that proposed separate marriage license forms for gay and straight couples.

Gov. Matt Bevin, a social conservative elected last year, publicly entered the debate this week by endorsing the single-form version in a letter to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Darryl Owens, a Democrat from Louisville.

"I offer my support for a single form and look forward to signing this legislation and allowing our county clerks to follow the law without being forced to violate their own conscience," the governor wrote.

Soon after taking office, Bevin ordered the state to prepare new marriage licenses that do not include the names of county clerks. The executive order was an attempt to protect the religious beliefs of Davis and other local elected officials.

Both pieces of legislation moving through the General Assembly would remove the names of county clerks from marriage licenses. Members ofthe Kentucky County Clerks Association have endorsed the single-form version, according to Democratic Sen. Morgan McGarvey of Louisville, one of its chief advocates.

"This has taken time, but we've built the consensus around the idea that one form is the best way to go because it treats everybody equally and doesn't invite any problems," McGarvey said Friday.

Michael Aldridge, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Kentiucky, said the single version "ensures all loving couples can access the rights they are entitled to equally under the law."

"The bill lifts the cloud of uncertainty hanging over marriage licensing in Kentucky," he said Friday.

McGarvey sounded optimistic that the Senate's large GOP majority would endorse the one-form alternative in the final days of this year's legislative session.

"I've talked to several of my colleagues and I think that they're ready to put this in their rear view mirror and get it behind us," he said.

Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer was noncommittal.

"I want to see the bill, and I want to see what the form looks like," he said Friday.

Sen. Stephen West, the lead sponsor of the bill creating two forms, said he was open to accepting the House version.

"If the only change is going to a single form in the way that I understand that it's been changed, then personally I'll be fine for it," said West, a Republican.

What change is he worried about? That the bills requires the form be shaped like an erect cock or something?
