Kim Davis finds that her church wants her to stay in jail [View all]

She thought she was going to benefit economically as the martyr of her dreams but she probably didn't think that her church and her religious peers and all Fundamentalist politicians would now demand that she stay in jail for 'as long as it takes'.

Meantime gay couples are now getting a marriage license anyway. Is that not a totally delicious outcome for all?

And soon the media will get tired of her and move on while she languishes in jail as the martyr to her religion, not having changed a thing.
