Lean FF. I admire her bravery and believe she's a kindhearted person who is only doing this to please god, but she should just resign at this point. SSM is settled law.
We don't live in a theocracy. An elected official doing something contrary to his/her job to "please God" should not even be a thing.
HP, and the funny thing is she's an elected Democrat.
So is every single elected official in Rowan County, save the (elected!) jailer. What's your point?
Um, maybe its that Democrats full-heartedly embrace gay marriages and she's denying them. It just goes to show that local governments across the rural south still elect very conservative Democrats. Its like traveling through a time warp for some of these places.
It's worth pointing out that she's probably an open Republican on the presidential and statewide level. In many Mississippi and other rural Southern locales, the local offices (sheriffs, clerks, aldermen, etc.) are all elected on the Democratic Party line no matter what. If a local office holder wants to run for higher office, even legislature, they run as Republicans and nobody thinks of them as a party-switcher. It's just how the local elections are. It's not even "oh, they will still elect Democrats when they're conservative enough," it's "literally no one ever runs as a Republican for these local races, regardless of their actual identity."
I can't guarantee that Davis is like this, but she probably is.
