The Colorado Springs Gazette, in a September 8 editorial, criticized Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis’ refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples by observing this is a case of “a public official essentially banning civil marriage in her county.” That’s a fair characterization.
It is also, of course, a case of using a claim to “religious freedom” to discriminate against other citizens in the name of religion.
