Individual-rights advocates continue to support Davis, such as Liberty Counsel Attorney, Mat Staver, who said “if this country has come to this point where a judge jails someone like Kim Davis for their religious convictions – then we have lost our religious liberty.” (Starnes, 2015) The lack of tolerance for gay marriage has also been seen in Oregon where a bakery was sued for “emotional suffering” (The Guardian, 2015) because the bakery owner refused to make a cake for a gay couple. “This case is not about a wedding cake or a marriage. It is about a business’s refusal to serve someone because of their sexual orientation. Under Oregon law, that is illegal,” Oregon labor commissioner Brad Avakian said in the final order.” (The Guardian, 2015) Anna Harmon, one of the attorneys for the couple “said Avakian’s order is unconstitutional, because “the right to speak freely, to think uniquely, and to live according to our faith is the bedrock of this country.” (The Guardian,

Higdon’s story relates to a Kentucky woman named Kim Davis. Davis was arrested September 3, 2015 because she refused to issue marriage license to a gay couple. “Under questioning from her attorney, Davis went on to express her opposition to same-sex marriage, which she said was ‘not of God’ and contrary to natural law and therefore not something that she could condone” (Higdon).

By refusing the LGBT community of marriage licenses, she is breaking a federal law. The Supreme Court made it a law in all 50 states to allow same-sex marriage, so if refusing to give a license to a couple is now against the law; no matter what your religious beliefs are.

This issue is also said to be an issue or separation of church and state. She is pushing her religion and beliefs on others by refusing them of a

Kamehameha the Great was a remarkable leader who was born and raised in secrecy because of complications until his early teenage years, where he was accepted back into his community. Kamehameha was raised to become a skillful warrior with perspective. This became useful to Kamehameha when war had broken out. The ali’is of Hawai’i raced to claim control over the islands.

Kim Davis was elected from the people to do a job as the county clerk. And when of the people changed the constitution for same sex marriage this got in the way of her religious beliefs prevented her from caring out her duties. But at the same time in The Religious Freedom Restoration Act of 1993 in some people’s eyes she is just expressing one of her constitutional rights. If the constitution was written only based on Christian beliefs then we would be breaking other religious rights as well.

The law was passed months after Rowan county clerk Kim Davis spent five days in jail for refusing to issue marriage license to gay couples, in defiance of court orders.
