In Morehead, Kentucky on Tuesday a clerk refused to issue marriage license to gay couples saying it was against her religion. On Thursday Davis will go to court to see if she will be charged a fine or get jail time for her actions. Davis asked that she not be the one to issue same-sex marriage license because "it is a violation of my faith". Davis is going against the constitution that recently passed the right of gay marriage. I can see both sides of this conflict because Davis has the right to religion just as much as gay people have the right to marriage. If she feels so solid in her faith that she cannot will herself to issue marriage licenses to gay people I do not think she has to. However, I understand the frustration among the gay community and its followers, gay marriage is a new right that many people have been waiting on and now they are being denied. I believe that a balance needs to be found between the rights of Americans.
