Check out the unbelievably complicated marital history of Kim Davis, Christian Hypocrite: [View all]

This is the Kentucky county clerk/attention-seeker who claims it's her Christian duty not to marry same-sex couples.

Dan Savage, in the second paragraph, seems to have gotten one detail wrong: she got knocked up by her 3rd husband a few months BEFORE she divorced her first husband, not after -- but otherwise, he does an excellent job conveying the craziness of this woman's life.

The Kentucky county clerk facing potentially stiff penalties for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses has been married four times, raising questions of hypocrisy and selective application of the Bible to her life. The marriages are documented in court records obtained by U.S. News, which show that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis divorced three times, first in 1994, then 2006 and again in 2008. She gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband. They were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second. Davis worked at the clerk's office at the time of each divorce and has since remarried.

Um... wait: Kim Davis got knocked up by her third husband shortly after divorcing her first husband and somehow managed to talk her second husband into adopting the kids she had by the man who eventually become her third husband... and she's now on her fourth husband? Jesus, the Hapsburg family tree is less complicated. But, hey, it all sounds perfectly biblical... or it would if we were talking about the Book of Mormon, it was 1890s, Kim Davis was a bearded man, and if Davis hadn't divorced husbands number one, two, and three before marrying husband number four.

If that's true, she performed adultry with her third husband, while still married to the first one! TheBlackAdder Sep 2015 #6

I'm in agreement JustAnotherGen Sep 2015 #16
We can disagree, no problem pinboy3niner Sep 2015 #17
The Court has a choice to make -- whether to throw her into jail pnwmom Sep 2015 #19
I don't think intent is relevant here, but that's up to the court pinboy3niner Sep 2015 #20
If they just fine her, I don't see how that will help since the RWers have already pledged to pay her fines. pnwmom Sep 2015 #21
