Kentucky’s ABC affiliate is broadcasting live outside the Kim Davis hearing. At this writing there’s not much to see – just a long shot of the protesters taken from across the street. That may change when the defendants exit the courthouse to make their statements. Several local reporters have tweeted anguished complaints about not being allowed inside because the courtroom …

Female members of Kim Davis’ Apostolic cult are reportedly commanded to dress modestly, are forbidden to cut their hair, and must not wear penis-encouraging make-up or jewelry.

According to Rowan County Attorney Cecil Watkins, the deputy clerks in Kim Davis’ office would issue same-sex marriage licenses, but they’re too afraid of their boss to come forward.

And one of those leaders, Senate President Robert Stivers, on Wednesday …

According to Focus On The Family spokesman Stuart Shepard, the real reason that activists are so angry at Kim Davis is because they secretly hate themselves. And that internal “pain” will never go away because Jesus. Shepard first came to our attention back in 2008 when Keith Olbermann named him that day’s “worst person in the world” for asking FOTF …

Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist Nick Anderson, whose work is syndicated to more than 100 newspapers, is bound to get some backlash for yesterday’s panel. You may recall that Fox News went ballistic on Anderson when he was awarded the Pulitzer back in 2005.

“I spoke with Kim Davis this morning to offer my prayers and support. I let her know how proud I am of her for not abandoning her religious convictions and standing strong for religious liberty.

Kornacki: “If she says she has a moral and religious objection to same-sex marriage I think it raises the question, does she have a moral and religious objection to a divorced person getting re-married? Does she have a moral and religious objection to someone who’s engaged in premarital relations getting married? Where does this end?” (Via Towleroad)

Last night Dan Savage appeared on MSNBC to declare that Kim Davis “will never have to an honest day’s work ever again in her life” due to her newfound martyrdom. “This is a woman who’s been divorced three times and married four times,” he said, reading from the US News & World Report article that pointed out Davis “gave birth …

We all knew that Kim Davis has been married four times, but this is some Maury Povich-level fuckery.

“Many have commented on the fact that Davis herself has been divorced several times. As a strategic matter, this makes her a rather poor poster child for ‘traditional Christian marriage’: Jesus himself treats divorce and remarriage as akin to adultery. But the point is not merely ad hominem: Davis’s willingness to impose a standard of marriage on gays that she …

“Kim Davis wasn’t going to lie, or violate her faith. She would not allow her name to be used to spread a falsehood — attesting that two men are married to each other, or two women either. If refusing to issue same-sex ‘marriage’ licenses while issuing heterosexual licenses was not permitted, then her solution was to not issue any marriage …
