Kentucky clerk fighting gay marriage has wed four times

A true example of family values:

The Kentucky county clerk facing potentially stiff penalties for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses has been married four times, raising questions of hypocrisy and selective application of the Bible to her life.

The marriages are documented in court records obtained by U.S. News, which show that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis divorced three times, first in 1994, then 2006 and again in 2008.

She gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband. They were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second. Davis worked at the clerk's office at the time of each divorce and has since remarried.

3. I suspect that according to plan the GoFundMe cashfall was supposed to happen before that came out.

Now she doesn't get the cash, and she likely even has to go to court. It can be a a major bummer when things don't go exactly as you envisioned it in your minds eye.

9. If the twins were fathered by 3 but adopted by #2, did that mean she has sex with #3 while married

to #2? Or she had them while married to #3 but her ex, #2, adopted them?

Looks like that is real. Here's a great article on it.

12. both exes sound like very accommodating gentlemen

one allowed his kids to be adopted, (well we don't know if she told him everything, but it surely makes good soap opera) and the other adopts another man's kids. Which is especially kind if she was cheating with 3 and 2 knew it. And 2 took these kids on and may still be their legal father after she divorced him and went to marry the bio father.
