Madonna's Brother Defends Anti-Gay Marriage License Lady
Quote:
Once again, the gay community feels the need to be sore winners," wrote Christopher Ciccone, who himself is openly gay. Madonna's brother, Christopher Ciccone, is speaking out in defense of the county clerk in Kentucky who was recently jailed after refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"The county clerk in [Kentucky] deserves about as much support as you would give her if she were a Muslim [woman] who insisted on covering her face and refused not only gay marriages licenses, but divorce, accusations of rape and driving a car without your man's approval," wrote Ciccone, who has directed music videos for Madonna.
"Once again, the gay community feels the need to be sore winners," he continued. "Is it so difficult to allow this women her religion? Or must we destroy her in order for her to betray her faith. No matter how we judge, it's truth. The rights we have all fought for, mean nothing, if we deny her hers."
The county clerk in Kentucy deserves about as much support as you would give her if she were a muslim women who insisted on covering her face and refused not only gay marriages licenses, but divorce, accusations of rape and driving a car without ur mans approval.....perspec tive is everything.....this woman is a civil servant, she is required to follow federal law.....but why should she....when DOJ and other civil authories don't follow federal law when they choose not to.....i.e. Washington State and Colorado (POT) come to mind...or the abstract notion of "sanctuary cities".....i always thought that sanctuary was the province of churches.......these things aside....this is why we have elections.....if the folks of this county in Kentucy don't want her as the county clerk....then don't have to vote for her.....that is how a democracy works....not to mention the courts....in the mean time.....since when are we the arbiter of other peoples faith?.......can you honestly say that you know how much a person is allowed to have??..if i'm not mistaken, it's in the constitution.....som ething about religious freedom or something......selec tive shaming and bullying corrupts a democracy....freedom of press, speech and religion give it strength. Not to mention reason and the god given compassion we as humans have a right and responsibility to practice. Once again, the gay community feels the need to be sore winners. Is it so difficult to allow this women her religion?...or must we destroy her in order for here to betray her faith. No matter how we judge its truth. The rights we have all fought for, mean nothing, if we deny her hers.
She needs to get a new job if her religion interferes with it.
This TBH. If she wants to be against it, good for her. Let her go somewhere else where it's acceptable. Not a public office and deny people a right they have. It's not her place.
He must've missed the part where she didn't let her staff issue licenses either. That's why the judge threw the book at her, she was imposing her ideals on the whole office
how mature of him. i completely agree even though she's in the wrong i don't think she deserves to be lambasted this severely.
Her lawyers should be in there too, making Kim think she had a chance
Maybe trade Kim, give her a new position and they get to be Big Boo's next girlfriend
No one is lambasting her because of her religion per se. She's being dragged because her exercising said beliefs in a court of law infringes on the rights of a group of people. If she was a priest then she would operate in private sector and would be fully within her rights to deny marrying gay couples. She is entitled to them, but when she brings them in a public arena where she has the power to deny said people services/benefits, then she best expect said beliefs to get challenged and SNATCHED.
OT: Didn't think I'd agree when I saw the title, but I sort of do. But he's not defending Kim Davis as much as he is calling out the SJW hypocrisy.
no he isn't. the hypocrisy would be that people are attacking her looks, calling her a bitch and a ****, etc. just because they disagree with her. that's something he would be justified in saying. he's just being a contrarian. freedom of religion has absolutely nothing to do with her violating federal law and refusing people their legal right to marry.
