A federal jury has awarded $100,000 to a Kentucky couple who sued former county clerk Kim Davis over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
Davis, the former Rowan County clerk, drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal, which she based on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
A jury in Ashland, Kentucky, awarded David Ermold and David Moore each $50,000 after deliberating on Wednesday, according to lawyers for Davis. A second couple who sued, James Yates and Will Smith, were awarded no damages on Wednesday by U.S. District Judge David Bunning.
That woman is a hideous toad on the outside (sorry to real toads) and a burning dumpster fire of dogshit on the inside. (Apologies to real burning dumpster fires of dogshit)
Thanks, man, no offense taken.
Why do people always focus on women’s appearances when discussing topics wholly unrelated to appearance?
No-one cares what she looks like. We care about what she did (used her religion as a crutch to deny some gay dudes tax benefits) and why she did it (because she hates the first amendment), but not what she looks like.
Because misogyny is pervasive in culture and when most people perceive a woman as “bad”, it suddenly feels ok for them to reduce her to her appearance. Most folks are not nearly as enlightened as they like to think.
I suppose I feel emboldened as I perceive her evil to have seeped through her skin.
Were she a socially progressive, helpful person I would probably not need to attack her looks as an inner beauty would be shining through and making an outwardly lovely person.
It’s not just women - you see it with pretty much any non-conventionally attractive person who does shitty things
