Mocking Kim Davis is fun. The Kentucky county clerk lacks a sense of irony or how the law works. While she meanders on her quixotic quest to keep LGBTI couples from getting married in Rowan County, let’s laugh at this Randy Rainbowvideo.
The New York City performer does his own version of Cell Block Tango. taken from the play Chicago. Rainbow uses his stint as a Gap employee to explain to the four-time married clerk how there are moments when the job must be done.
‘It’s like when I used to work at the Gap,’ Rainbow explains. ‘They made me fold their clothes all day long, even though I don’t believe in cotton-poly blended fabrics or mid-rise relaxed fit jeans.’
Survivor Furious That “Eye Of The Tiger” Was Used In Kim Davis Video, Considers Suing To Protect Integrity
One of the countless disturbing aspects of the video of antigay Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis delivering her self-pitying speech upon being released from jail as “Eye of the Tiger” blared from speakers in the background, giving less-savvy viewers an impression that Davis was a champion rising to victory from the ashes of defeat. Phooey. We prefer to associate the song with Rocky Balboa since the anthem was recorded by the band Survivor for 1982’s boxing epic Rocky III. Alas, we’re not alone. A note posted to the band’s official Facebook page makes it clear that they did not approve the use of their biggest hit at such a woeful spectacle.
Now TMZ reports that bandmembers are not only irate to be linked with the notorious K.I.M. and disgraceful GOP presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, but they’re considering taking legal action to preserve the integrity of their music. We say knock ’em out.
John Kasich Worries Kim Davis Spectacle Will Turn People Away From Religion
Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) bemoaned the spectacle in Kentucky over same-sex marriage Tuesday, distancing himself from some of his fellow GOP presidential candidates who have literally embraced Kim Davis.
The Rowan County clerk emerged from jail Tuesday afternoon after a judge ordered her locked up last week for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sexcouples. Davis, an Apostolic Christian, said she simply couldn’t comply because the action “irreparably and irreversibly violates her conscience.”
Since then, she has become a hero among religious conservatives, and supporters — including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) — threw a rally for her upon her release. Huckabee has said Davis’ case demonstrates the “criminalization of Christianity in America.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), another GOP presidential contender, also visited Davis Tuesday.
But in an interview with Fox News host Neil Cavuto Tuesday, Kasich worried that the Davis episode may actually weaken religion by alienating people.
“We have a lot of young people that have walked away from, or are confused or uncertain about personal faith. And one of the things that I know that’s so great about it — being a flawed man — is that, thank God we have grace,” Kasich said.
“In this case, when young people, or people who are looking at what is religion all about, what is faith all about — when they see dust-ups like this, my concern is they would go the other way and say, ‘Look, I don’t want anything to do with that,'” he added.
Kasich also said that while he supports so-called “traditional marriage” and understands Davis’ concerns, “we have bigger fish to fry in terms of the whole issue of faith.”
“For me, it means I can forgive … It means I am supposed to live a life bigger than myself. It means I have to be aware of those who are the downtrodden and the widows, the orphans,” Kasich added.
He reiterated that marriage equality is now the law of the land, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court, and that government officials need to abide by that ruling.
U.S. District Judge David Bunning released Davis after her deputies began issuing marriage licenses to same-sexcouples. Bunning warned that, as part of her release, Davis may not interfere with the duties of her deputy clerks.

Ellen DeGeneres on conservative Caitlyn Jenner: ‘She still has a judgement about gay marriage’
Ellen DeGeneres opened the new season of her popular daytime talk show on Tuesday (8 September) with an interview with a pre-taped interview with Caitlyn Jenner.
While the transgender Olympic legend and reality show star has drawn a lot of praise for her determination to shed light on trans issues, she’s not scoring so high on the same-sex marriage issue.
Jenner, a Republican, admitted DeGeneres that she was ‘not for it’ 15 or 20 years ago because she qwas a traditional person. As the male Bruce Jenner, she has been divorced three times.
Jenner told DeGeneres that she doesn’t ‘ever want to stand in front of anybody’s happiness. You know? That’s not my job. If that word “marriage” is really, really that important to you, I can go with it.’
DeGeneres tells Howard Stern in a new interview that she was taken aback by this lukewarm endorsement of marriage equality.
‘She still has a judgement about gay marriage,’ DeGeneres said ti Stern. ‘…You’re wanting people to understand and accept you – this is like really confusing to people and you still have a judgement about gay people and marriage.’
Still, DeGeneres called her chat with Jenner ‘a great interview.’
‘I’m grateful that she was on the show. And I don’t really know her and I’m trying to understand it because I don’t fully understand it either – but I also want everyone to be happy. So I don’t fully understand all of that, but I want her to be happy — which is what I want for her [to want] for me.’

Kim Davis Addresses Anti-Gay Protestors After Being Released From Jail: WATCH
Anti-gay Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis was set free from jail today by federal judge David Bunning.

Finally taking the stage after all the other anti-gay acts had done their shtick, Davis said, “[God’s] people have rallied and you are a strong people…Just keep on pressin’. Don’t let down, because He is here. I love you guys.”
