County clerk Kim Davis from Rowan, Kentucky—who was thrust into the spotlight after she refused to sign same-sex wedding certificates—is now facing another lawsuit.
Davis was slapped with a federal lawsuit after she denied a man a licence to marry his laptop computer, according to Charisma News. The plaintiff, Mark "Chris" Sevier, also filed lawsuits against Governor Matt Bevin and Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear.
It seemed like Sevier—a graduate of Vanderbilt Law School whose law licence was suspended in 2011—had a penchant for filing lawsuits against people. He previously filed similar ones in Texas and in Florida because he wanted to prove that a person who wants to marry an inanimate object has the same rights as same-sex couples who wish to tie the knot.
Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, does not appreciate Sevier's antics and thinks he is wasting everybody's time trying to prove a moot point.
"This lawsuit is frivolous," he said. "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."
Despite spending six days in jail for standing up for her religious beliefs, Davis does not regret her actions and would do everything the same way, given the chance.
During an earlier interview with The Daily Independent, Davis said she believes everything happens according to God's plan. "I had one little girl write me. She told me she had been in a dry, down place for a long time," she shared. "She told me she knew my story. She saw it on TV. She said she rededicated her life to the Lord because of me. This is when I knew—what God was using me for was of vital importance for our nation, not just Kentucky."
