Rowan County Deputy Clerk Brian Mason Continues to Defy Kim Davis, Insists She \u2018Does a Good Job\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

Rowan County Deputy Clerk Brian Mason may have been unwillingly thrust into the center of a culture war showdown as a result of his boss’s anti-gay<\/a> crusade, but he still maintains that county clerk Kim Davis is “good at her job” and “doesn’t hate anyone.”<\/p>\n

“I’m right in the middle — I see both sides,” said Mason in an interview with BuzzFeed<\/a>. “But I’m going to issue them either way because of the judge’s orders and for personal reasons.”<\/p>\n

Mason, who left his retail job last year to work at the county clerk’s office, began <\/a>issuing marriage licenses to same-sex<\/a> couples<\/a> while Davis was in jail earlier this month. Davis and her legal team had argued that those licenses were “not worth the paper they’re printed on,”<\/a> but yesterday Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear clarified <\/a>that marriage licenses issued by Davis’s deputy clerks will be considered valid by the state.<\/p>\n

Despite the drama, 38-year-old deputy clerk said there was no tension between him and Davis. “She is very nice,” Mason said. “She is a very sweet lady<\/a>. She has a good budget in.”<\/p>\n

Mason also said that while he appreciates his online fans who’ve praised him for doing his job and turned him into a meme, he says the adulation isn’t necessary.<\/p>\n
