I think Kim Davis is waiting to cash in. I predicted from the beginning that she would defy all the court orders, defy the Supreme Court, she would ultimately be held in contempt of court, lose her job, perhaps go to prison for a short amount of time. And then she will have written for her, ghost written books. She will go on the right-wing lecture circuit and she’ll never have to do an honest day’s work ever again in her life. This is about someone hypocritically cashing in, and she is a hypocrite.”
— Activist-columnist Dan Savage saying publicly to MSNBC what every last one of has thought from the beginning, that Kim Davis is playing us all and if she quits or is fired, she’ll be made a martyr by her kind will eventually be rolling in cash donations from other antigay folks, just as the owners of Memories Pizza did earlier this year

I love that people casting slander on sexuality are now taking the brunt from the public! We are getting closer and closer to a new age where acceptance is accessible to everybody because people like this should keep their mouths shut!

and all in the name of god. i guess she will be the next one to want a private jet

GoFundMe I don’t think will allow accounts for people that broke the law, so that might not work, but she will probably have a ghost written book out in a few weeks. Hopefully the judge will fine her so much for her contempt that any profits disappear.

Isn’t it amazing that Big Kim (@KimDavis #KimDavis) can get married four times, via her chosen man-made religious cult! Her “god” must be So proud! Holiness? NOT! Is this who southern Pentecostals want as their PR mascot??? â? ï¸Better lock up your snakes & chickens! Obviously she loves food ……Let’s through pies in her face like Anita Bryant ….who’s with me?
She also has twins by her third husband born five months after her divorce from her first husband and claimed by her second husband. And she’s afraid of the Lord’s retribution for granting gays a marriage license?
Government Employees Have No â??Religious Freedomâ?? Right To Refuse Service To Same-Sex Couples, Says Americans United
Jul 8, 2015 â?? Clerks Must Issue Marriage Licenses To All Qualified Couples, Church-State Watchdog Says
Government employees who oppose marriage equality because of their religious beliefs are not entitled to refuse service to same-sex couples, Americans United for Separation of Church and State has informed officials in all 50 states today.
In a letter released today, which will be sent to all state attorneys general as well as county clerks in Texas and South Dakota, Americans United explains that with marriage equality now the law of the land, government employees do not have the right to opt out of serving gay couples, because doing so would harm those couples and violate their constitutional rights.
â??As Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote in the U.S. Supreme Courtâ??s decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, there is dignity in marriage for all couples,â? said the Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United. â??But government officials who refuse to serve same-sex couples are taking away that dignity.â?
The letter was prompted by a recent memo from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and a statement by South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley, who suggested that government employees may be allowed a religious exemption from serving same-sex couples.
In its memo, Americans United says the Constitution makes no such allowance.
â??As with an interracial couple, imposing such burdens on a same-sex couple would burden, demean, and stigmatize the couple in a manner that violates the Constitution and other laws. Thus, allowing accommodations in these circumstances would subject government entities and officials to legal liability,â? asserts the AU document.
Said Americans United Senior Litigation Counsel Gregory M. Lipper: â??The Supreme Court meant what it said. Any same-sex couple denied service by a government official should contact Americans Unitedâ??s legal department. We stand ready to represent same-sex couples whose rights are violated on account of religion.â?
This action is part of Americans Unitedâ??s new project, Protect Thy Neighbor, which seeks to stop religious-based discrimination against LGBT persons and others.
The letter was written by Lipper with assistance from AU Associate Legal Director Alex J. Luchenitser, and Madison Fellows Zachary A. Dietert and Natacha Y. Lam. (Lam is admitted in New York only, and is supervised by Lipper.)
Americans United is a religious liberty watchdog group based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1947, the organization educates Americans about the importance of church-state separation in safeguarding religious freedom.

Impossible, a federal judge will stop all of that, even writing a book for profit is not allowed for criminal behavior.
She will not collect anything from gofundme or any of the like.

And that dumbass Huckabee is all over her, too. Look for Kim to stump for Huck in the near future as well. She’s a deeply disturbed woman, that’s for sure. She’s also a whore, as evidenced by how her children were fathered, passed around, adopted, etc…. I have nothing against promiscuity, but I do have a big problem with a nut case who has one set of rules for us and a completely different set for herself. Send the bitch to prison. She’ll look great in orange.

*yawn* Dan Savage is a bigot, biphobic, transphobic, and r@c1st he does not represent rich gay white men, or the so called LGBT “community” at all.

Captain Obvious
Savage is a bigger bigot than she is so it’s hilarious that he would say this and people constantly overlook all the things he’s said and done over the years. On top of his being biphobic, transphobic, and mocking fetishes(god forbid people explore their sexuality… especially gay people) all the time he also spouts plenty of r@cism which is the biggest hypocrisy of all.
Enough with Savage, he really is one.

I doubt she will be rolling in the cash. I can’t see this homely looking white trash doing anything but being offered but possibly a Lifetime movie. I can’t see anyone offering anything, she’s like a leper. No one wants to touch her.
Trevor McGee
All these comments are aimed at blaming & shaming her. The point is….. Is that though she is surely in the wrong, the attention she’s receiving, is building her platform. She’s not the one giving herself attention. She might be acting in ways that attract it. But, she’s not giving it. We are. Gay Media is. So, there’s a thing she can’t take the blame for.
Captain Obvious
@Clark35: The sad part is that it even needs to be said at all. People have eyes and ears. How is he as famous as he is?
He’s practically a “Christian” republican. I’m surprised he’s not closeted but I guess he was too flamboyant to join Westboro.

i have a feeling she’s been licensed to the hilt by her ‘christian’ law firm so they’ll be taking a hefty chunk of change out of anything she makes. she’s been their pawn since she started out but not an unwitting/unwilling one. i’m fairly certain they promised a big payday and this is another, slightly bigger step. next comes the interviews (for a price), speaking at evangelical churches (VERY profitable), every imaginable conservative talk show or news program (will she turn blond for fox? or would that be considered a violation of her biblical sense). can even see a kirk cameron-produced movie, going straight to church basements everywhere.

IRRELEVANT. Savage is spouting off once again like has done in the past. I never did care about that man.
And if she takes money while still a public official, she could be in trouble with the courts for a whole different reason. It’s called bribery. She will most certainly be prosecuted because she hasn’t made friends of the Attorney General in the state of Kentucky nor any judges.
She’ll probably resign, get a book deal and a job at Fox News. I don’t give a fuck if she makes money… stupid people will donate their money to other stupid people. That sort of shit happens all the time. That’s why the republican party exists.

Sorry Dan, it might be a little problematic for her to go on the “right-wing lecture circuit” since she is a Democrat. She is a Democratic elected official who won her seat last November. She is paid $80,000 a year not to do her job.
