A local clerk in Kentucky currently fighting a court battle to deny gay couples marriage licenses inadvertently granted a marriage license to a transgender man and his wife last February, the couple said.
Camryn Colen, who decided to transition in 2010, and his wife Alexis Colen, told the Courier-Journal that they had no issue getting the license when they applied for it in February. They said that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis had advised her staff to process the paperwork without requesting to look at Camryn’s birth certificate, which still lists him as female.
“She saw just a straight couple in love, and she should see everybody like that,” Camryn said. “She shouldn’t just see straight couples like that.”
Since the Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage legal nationwide, Davis has stopped granting marriage licenses to all couples — gay or straight — because she says granting them to same-sex couples violates her faith.
A group of straight and couples in Rowan sued Davis in July, arguing that her refusal to grant marriage licenses violated their constitutional rights. A federal district judge agreed and ruled that Davis begin issuing the licenses to all couples seeking them. Davis defied the order and is now asking the Supreme Court to grant her a temporary injunction while appeals the district court ruling.
“because she says granting them to same-sex couples violates her faith.”
because she says gay people are subhuman.
FIFY
Before anyone says it, she cannot be fired. She’s an elected official. The KY AG, who is a Democrat and running for governor in a tightly contested race against the worst of the worst teabaggers, is considering appointing a special prosecutor to investigate whether or not she broke any misconduct laws. Also, Elena Kagan is the SCOTUS judge considering this idiot’s petition for an emergency stay.
Uh oh, Kim Davis, you 4x married tainted Jezebel, Master Yoda senses your coming gloom…

Better set up that GoFundMe page and hope the 700 Club will call soon! (*There, please explain how many of your ‘forever’ God-blessed and sanctioned FOUR holy heterosexual marriages were utterly destroyed by same sex marriage?)
I guess she’ll spend the rest of her life worried that she’ll burn in hell for eternity for her accidentally violating her faith with this trans man and wife marriage license. Tough break.
The only thing now standing in the breach between us and ~gasp!~ the apocalypse, the horror, that same sex marriage will bring is marriage sanctifying Kim “I Loved My Four Husbands” Davis. If she fails… ~horrors!~…THIS could happen…
