An Open Letter to Kim Davis
Dear Kim Davis:
As you may know, when you fall in love with someone, you hand your heart and soul over to them. Anyone who has committed to sharing their life with another human and forming a family unit knows that it is the biggest and most rewarding adventure you will ever take.
You know that all of the laughs and all of the tears won’t fall on the echo of an empty room, but will instead be received in the warm embrace of someone who has pledged to see you at your best and love you at your worst. You know that person is there to help pick you up on those days when the odds are stacked against you. You know that you never have to do the dishes alone.
When I met John, I had no idea that I would spend the next two decades building a life with the man who would one day inspire me to demand our right to be recognized by our country. I earned the right to lawfully call him my husband, just as you have a right to call your husband such. Love transcends gender.
You’re imposing the same indignities on couples in Rowan County that John and I suffered when Ohio would not legally recognize us as a married couple. Thankfully, the law is now changed so that nobody should ever have to experience the injustice that John and I endured. No one is above the law, Kim, not even you.
I joined the fight to have our love treated equally precisely because our love is equal. The love that any family shares is no more or less worthy than that of any other, and it’s not fair for you, or anyone, to judge. It’s your job to simply do your job. Issuing a marriage license at work is not a personal endorsement of my marriage any more than recording a deed is an endorsement of my home ownership.
It’s simply following the rules in this civil society in which we’ve all agreed to be members.
What truly matters is the kindness and compassion we share with our families and with those around us. Love makes a family. And as of June 2015 the federal government agrees.
I did not fight for my right to call John my husband in vain. I stand today in his memory and proudly declare him my legally wedded spouse. Do not stand in the way of others seeking their legal right to have their love recognized.
Sincerely,
Jim Obergefell & 10,245 ACLU Supporters
because our love is equal.
I won't even bother wasting my time at this level of cognitive dissonance. The truly sorry part about it is that there is a significant percentage of Americans who actually agree with him. May God have mercy...
Can’t she sue for sexual harassment?
“The truly sorry part about it is that there is a significant percentage of Americans who actually agree with him. May God have mercy...”
Amen, We have Fallen so far!!!
It genuinely bothers me that no one attacks the premise of gay marriage:
This is embodied sexism
Marrying the SAME SEX means we don’t need the opposite sex.
We don’t need diversity. We need more of ourselves.
We don’t need the inconvenience of pregnancy.
It is inherently selfish, narcissistic and sexist.
It is not possible to legitimately “join” them in a sexual union. They can mutually....whatever, but it is not what nature and nature’s God joined together. It is a perversion of it and no amount of tyranny will change the truth.
I don’t care what reprobates have to say.
Just askin'.
The guy is a mental defective.
Faggies hate women. This is legalistic stalking & harassment.
"You should respect my attraction to a goat too."
"Its just love, and love of goats is equal to love of a human, isn't it? "
Kim Davis is NOT stopping them from marrying or getting a license. Live and let live but that is never enough for tards. You MUST think and believe as they do or you will be hounded for the rest of your lives.
Well, Mark, people are starting to get p!ssed. We’ll see who is hounded and persecuted. Just remember you asked for it.
When a sperm gets loose in another male’s body, and it’s attacked by body defenses as a foreign invader what antibody is formed and what does it attack in the future?
Jim Faggerrfell is misguided.
He is confusing civil union with Marriage
I heard or read somewhere that they didn’t want her to go to jail because that would make her a martyr. They wanted her to be heavily fined so they could line their pockets. I guess God had other plans.
I didn’t realize that anal sex was love. I must get up to speed on these developments./s
God spoke on the issue. One man and one woman.
Great point
so much for the lie that it was about two people in love who wanted to get married. The 'partner' was already gone.
And in Texas there was a lesbian couple seeking Supreme Court attention, they wanted Texas to recognize their marriage so they could get divorced in Texas. Not about love.
If only.
Then we wouldn't have the courts making up law, like a constitutional right to gay marriage.
God gave Isaiah a few words on this several thousand years ago.
Isaiah 5:20
...Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; and ... that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! ...
