Okay, so before people jump on this, I realize that this article is from Breitbart, and has NO other sources noted.
GAY MEN WANT KIM DAVIS BACK IN JAIL
If, and I stress, IF, this story is legitimate, I feel that it portrays this particular gay couple ( and possibly the entire movement) in an extremely poor light.
Why?
Because it would indicate that they are not simply satisfied to be able to get married, but that they are bent on punishing this woman for her beliefs.
Regardless of her personal past, political affiliation, or any other factor, this becomes a story about forcing someone to affirm someone else's beliefs regardless of their own.
If the claims in this article turn out to be true (which they may not be), I hope it blows up in their faces.

GAY MEN WANT KIM DAVIS BACK IN JAIL
Quote:Two sources close to Kentucky country clerk Kim Davis tell Breitbart News that the gay men whose demand for a marriage license started her on a path to jail for five days are again trying to get her locked up.
These are the men who were seen on video shouting at Davis and demanding she issue them a marriage license in accord with the Supreme Court Obergefell decision that imposed gay marriage on the country. When she refused, Federal judge David Bunning jailed her for five days.
While Davis was in jail, her staff issued a marriage license to the two men, though without her name attached to it. The license was issued in the name of the clerk’s office. The two men were satisfied, as was Judge Bunning and the Governor of the State of Kentucky.
Upon her return, Davis began issuing licenses with “Pursuant to Federal Court Order” affixed. This newest version of Rowan County licenses did not affect the license issue to the two men. Even so, the men are back, saying the license they were so happy with a few weeks ago, is not sufficient They are demanding that Davis issue a new license with her name on it.
If, and I stress, IF, this story is legitimate, I feel that it portrays this particular gay couple ( and possibly the entire movement) in an extremely poor light.
