For example, in Kentucky, county clerk Kim Davis was put in jail Thursday, September 3, 2015 for defying a federal judge’s order to issue a marriage license to same-sex couples on religious grounds. It was against her religious beliefs to issue those licenses; she had worked there for so long before the law that man and man, and woman and woman could marry came legal. The first amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” She had the right to say it was against her religion; she also had the right to say that she was not going to issue those licenses. The government made this unfair, and made it into something bigger than it should have
