Kim Davis Faces Lawsuit After Denying Man License to Marry Laptop
Kentucky County clerk Kim Davis is facing another lawsuit, but this time it is for refusing to let a man marry his laptop computer.
Davis faced a controversial lawsuit earlier last year when she refused to sign same-sex marriage licenses because it violated her religious beliefs. However, Kim Davis won in court after a long-standing religious freedom battle.
Now, Davis faces another lawsuit for refusing to issue a marriage license to a man who wants to marry is laptop.
Mark Sevier filed the suit, arguing that marriages between same-sex couples have the same value and legitimacy as a human marrying an inanimate object.
"This lawsuit is frivolous," Mat Staver, Founder and Chairman of Liberty Counsel, said in a press release. "There is obviously no right for a man to marry a machine. When you make gender irrelevant to a gender-based relationship you open Pandora's box and make a mockery out of marriage."
Legal advisers expect the lawsuit to fail.
Meanwhile, Davis continues to serve as a county clerk without being forced to put her name on same-sex marriage licenses.
