Watch: Kim Davis ‘Sad’ Gays ‘So Unhappy’ That They Don’t Feel ‘Dignified’ Without ‘A Piece Of Paper’

Here is the full video of Kim Davis’ “Good Morning America” interview that aired Tuesday morning, where more of her hypocrisy is on full display.

Kim Davis tells ABC News’ Paula Faris that she is willing to go to jail again before putting her name on marriage licenses for same-sex couples, because they are not “valid in God’s eyes.”

Davis is the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who refuses, despite lawsuits and several federal court rulings, to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. She spent six days in jail earlier this month for contempt of court.

“I can’t put my name on a license that doesn’t represent what God ordained marriage to be,” Davis insists.

But in another portion of her interview, Davis takes a passive-aggressive swipe at same-sex couples wanting those marriage licenses she believes are so valuable – yet she calls just “a piece of paper.”

“I don’t think dignity is guaranteed in the Constitution,” Davis says. “I think dignity is something that you find within yourself. I feel really sad that … someone could be so unhappy with themselves as a person that they did not feel dignified as a human being until they got a piece of paper. I mean, there’s just so much more to life than that.”

That’s just one of what many point to as hypocritical inconsistencies with Davis’ positions. 

She tells Paula Faris that despite being married four times, she’s not a hypocrite for denying same-sex couples marriage licenses.

“No, I’m forgiven,” she says. “Washed clean,” because she found God four and a half years ago.

And she’s clear in her mind that she has her priorities straight because she holds her personal interpretation of her Christian beliefs  over the job she was elected to perform, a job she says she’s “good at.”

“My constituents elected me. But the main authority that rules my life is the Lord.”

For months, since refusing to issue licenses, and refusing to allow her deputies to issue them, Davis has been the subject of both national derision and religious “liberty” arguments.

She says she’s been called “Hitler,” and “homophobe,” and those names don’t upset her, despite her tears.

“What people say about me does not define who I am. That’s everybody’s opinion and that’s everybody’s right,” Davis says.

“I’ve been called things and names that I didn’t even say when I was in the world. Those names don’t hurt me. What probably hurt me the worst is when someone tells me that my God does not love me or that my God is not happy with me, that I am a hypocrite of a Christian.”

Davis says she’s willing to go back to jail. She may. The ACLU last night petitioned the federal judge in her case to force Davis to stop altering marriage licenses.

More of Davis’ ABC News interview will air this morning on “The View,” and she will give an interview to Fox News that airs Wednesday.
