Rowan County clerk, Kim Davis really WAS telling the truth when told Good Morning America that she had gay friends.
Dallas Black of Morehead, told The Daily Beast that he’s known Davis his whole life —her first husband is even a distant cousin of his. He and Davis became close after she helped him with paperwork at the Rowan County clerk’s office after his mother died. Today he said doesn’t recognize her;
“I really don’t know who Kim is at the moment. I really want to believe that the kind, sweet person who was there when my mom passed away is still there. I was friends with Kim in the past, but I don’t know this woman I’ve been seeing.
I somewhat feel like she is taking this to an extreme, because she didn’t become a Christian until four years ago.”
Black said he tolerates Davis’s views —even members of his own family don’t support same-sex marriage —but turning the whole town into a “backwoods” laughingstock is upsetting. Morehead (I know, what a name for a town where THIS is happening) is supposedly one of the most progressive college towns in Kentucky. In 2013, its city council unanimously passed an LGBT non-discrimination ordinance, only the sixth city in Kentucky to do so.
“This is kind of like a sanctuary for people who came to [Morehead State University]. They live here now, they’ve made it their home because it’s so progressive. And now it’s like, what is this place we live in? This is not the home we know. We don’t feel safe now. That’s ultimately what she did. She made us feel like our home was invaded by strangers, and she made us strangers to it.”
Kim Davis has become the face of Morehead, and that’s not the face we want to portray.”
“The face of Morehead”… just let that sink in. OK?
Anyway, Black says Davis won’t be on his wedding guest list, should he decide to get gay married. He says he’d keep it small … close friends, and ones who support same-sex marriage wholeheartedly. Good idea. (via The Daily Beast)
