Kim Davis is NOT Rosa Parks

Can everyone who declares that this Kentucky bigot is Rosa Parks please shut up and stop displaying their ignorance? Rosa Parks was about expanding civil liberties. Davis is about curtailing them. The two could not be more dissimilar.

You know what I love? Everyone who is quick to declare, “Well, of course she has the right to her beliefs.” Here’s a nutty idea: let’s argue she doesn’t. How about the idea that some concepts are so stupid, so backward, that people are NOT entitled to those beliefs? I mean, I don’t see people who are her supporters declaring, “Well, of course homosexuals have a right to be gay.” Why not? Because they DON’T believe that. They think that gays do NOT in fact have that right because it’s declared in the bible that they do not have that right. You know, the same book that says you shouldn’t eat shrimp.

So maybe it’s time we started treating people like Kim Davis in the exact same way that people like her treat the folks they don’t like. I say she has as much right to her opinion as gays have to be gay…and if she thinks they don’t have that right, then neither does she.
