Two Years After Trying to Stop Same-Sex Couples From Marrying in Kentucky Kim Davis Is Trying to Do the Same in Romania

Discussing “The Impact of Same-Sex ‘Marriage’ on Religious Liberty”

Rowan County, Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis spent six days in jail for contempt of court after refusing to sign marriage licenses for same-sex couples. It took the election of a far right Republican governor who changed the rules to get her out of hot water, but now that same-sex couples can marry in her county she’s left the country and headed to Romania. There’s she will try to use her influence to stop same-sex couples from marrying also.

A nation of just under 20 million people, a move is on to make it illegal for same-sex couples to wed. Marriage for same-sex couples is not legal in Romania, and no major political party supports it. 

Davis is on a nine-day trip with Liberty Counsel, the anti-gay hate group that represented her in 2015. 

A press release states “Davis and Harry Mihet, Liberty Counsel’s Vice President of Legal Affairs and Chief Litigation Counsel, are visiting Romania this week to discuss the impact of same-sex ‘marriage’ on religious liberty and freedom of conscience.”

(Note the scare quotes around marriage.)

Liberty Counsel claims Davis and Mihet’s “message is simple and based upon the recent lessons learned in the United States: same-sex ‘marriage’ and freedom of conscience are mutually exclusive, because those who promote the former have zero tolerance for the latter.”

Mihet says he is “so glad for this amazing opportunity to finally introduce Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis personally to my Romanian people.”

“Her story resonates loudly with them, and they are receiving her tearfully and very warmly, because they can still remember the not-so-long-ago days when they were themselves persecuted and imprisoned for their conscience. The freedom of conscience transcends national, cultural, religious and denominational lines, and Romanians are determined to prevent such injustice from ever happening again in their country.”
