I’ve been seeing a zillion memes like this today about Kim Davis, the Christian Kentucky Clerk who is going to jail<\/a> for contempt of court, because she’s refusing to do her job and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.<\/p>\n

\"kim-davis\"<\/p>\n

1) First of all, Kim Davis only converted to Christianity four years ago<\/a>. But her most recent divorce was in 2008, seven years ago. The claim that she\u2019s being a hypocrite isn’t even true.<\/p>\n

2) Secondly, this sort of attack is slut-shaming. And gleefully vindictive in a way that makes us look ugly. And worst of all, mean to her kids, who probably don’t want thousands of strangers posting about their birth dates, or to have that information broadcast to all their classmates.<\/p>\n

3) It\u2019s obvious that Kim Davis can\u2019t win legally, and the end of the legal road here is that same-sex couples will be able to get marriage licenses everywhere in Kentucky. So nothing is accomplished by attacking Kim Davis personally, apart from making her even more of a martyr for her cause.<\/p>\n

4) While we\u2019re at it, if you see anyone attacking Kim Davis for her looks<\/a>, please tell them to go fuck themselves.<\/p>\n
