Westboro Baptist Joins the Anti-Kim Davis Bandwagon But the Reason May Surprise You

Even the rabidly anti-LGBT Westboro Baptist Church has joined the condemnation of rogue Kentucky clerk Kim Davis.

The noted anti-LGBT rabble rousers at the Westboro Baptist Church, have added Kim Davis to their enemies list.

In a series of tweets, church members added their own thoughts to the national conversation on the Kentucky clerk's quixotic stand against marriage equality. Spoiler: They say she's going to hell.

Davis was jailed on contempt of court charges Thursday for continuing her refusal to issue marriage licenses, citing her religious beliefs. Davis was ordered to issue the licenses by Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear following the Supreme Court ruling in favor of marriage equality, but she's steadfastly refused to comply with the law. A federal judge also instructed Davis to issue the licenses after four couples sued her for refusing to serve them. Davis appealed the decision to both the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, but lost each time. This week the clerk flouted the Supreme Court ruling, leading to the contempt of court charge.

But she isn't quite Christian enough for Westboro.

The church has attacked the clerk for hypocrisy. As was reported this week, Davis has been married four times. Davis divorced her first husband after committing adultery with her third husband and becoming pregnant with twins. Her second husband adopted the children, but Davis eventually divorced him to marry the children's biological father. Davis has since divorced that man and remarried her second husband.
