Kim Davis Returns Home To Face Taunting Billboard & More Controversy

The media and liberal pundits continually preach that they are all about peace and tolerance and how the “religious right” is devoid of love and acceptance. This exact opposite could not be more evident than in the media circus surrounding Kim Davis and her stand against issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Whether or not you agree with Davis’s stance on refusing to issue the marriage licenses, it’s undeniable that the hypocrisy of the left has reared its ugly head again.

Davis, who was in jail for contempt of court, was released last week under the condition that she does not interfere with the issuing of marriage licenses in Rowan county. Davis agreed to the condition and said she would return to work on Monday, but that was not welcomed with the warmest reception.

A billboard in support of gay marriage was erected in Moorehead, Kentucky with a taunting message to Davis. Planting Peace, a non-profit organization who says that Davis needs to take a closer look at how marriage has already evolved, is behind the mocking billboard.

The billboard’s taunting message reads:

    “Dear Kim Davis, The fact that you can’t sell your daughter for three goats and a cow means we’ve already redefined marriage.”

Aaron Jackson, the president of Planting Peace, said this about the controversial billboard:

“The intent of this billboard is to expose how the anti-LGBT movement is selective in what rules to follow and how they choose to define traditional institutions or values, it’s important and relevant to call this out, because the actions of Kim Davis and the messages from the anti-LGBTQ movement are not simply about a political or religious debate. There are LGBT youth across the world who are taking their lives at an alarming rate because of these messages from society that make them feel broken or less than.”

Jackson also added:

    “We have to meet hate with love, intolerance with compassion. Our message to our LGBT youth is simple: You are loved, valued, supported, and beautiful. There is nothing wrong with you, and we will stand by you. You are not alone.”

That statement from Jackson seems to be hypocritical. The LGBT community would like us to believe that they are discriminated against and treated poorly, when in all reality they have become a protected class. If they truly believed in tolerance and love, why would they erect a billboard in Davis’s town to openly mock her and her core beliefs?

Furthermore, what the misguided folks at Planting Peace seem to be referencing would be referred to as a dowry, where a man gave something of value for a woman’s hand in marriage. There are no biblical references to “three goats and a cow,” and marriage was never defined as such. It seems they have mistaken a historical practice for a defining factor, which it is not and never was. A dowry was an accepted practice in many cultures throughout history, not just unique to Christians alone, but it was never the definition of marriage.

Oddly enough, it is actually on the rise in some Islamic cultures. They attempted to mock Christianity, but actually insulted Muslims. They may want to be careful with that, since Muslims aren’t known to be very tolerant of homosexuality. While Christians love the sinner, a Muslim would throw a homosexual off a tall building if given the opportunity.

Although gifts aren’t typically given to the parents of the bride in the form of a dowry any longer, women are often given a diamond in exchange for their hand in marriage. Does this mean that the definition of marriage has evolved to women selling themselves for jewels? Obviously, not. While traditions involving marriage may have changed, the core definition of marriage has not. It has always been between a man and a woman, at least until the government got involved.

The LGBT community has every right to live as they please and have not had any of their rights denied to them that are stated in the Constitution. However, when these people do not get their way, they resort to bullying tactics and misinformation in order to push through their agenda and attempt to force acceptance, which simply doesn’t work.

Now, more than ever, Christians have to stand firm for our religious rights. If we don’t, they may be done away with in the name of “tolerance.” -Mad World News
