With voters in Rowan County, Kentucky rejecting her continuing employment as county clerk on Tuesday, anti-LGBTQ advocate Kim Davis has decided that she wants to try her hand at opening up a Christian ministry claims her lawyer.
According to a report at the Friendly Atheist, Davis -- who gained national attention in 2015 after she was jailed for ignoring a court order to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples -- is making plans for her future after being booted at the ballot box.
In an interview on the Christian radio show "Crosstalk" her attorney, Mat Staver, said she plans on becoming a minister.
Describing her tenure as a county clerk, Staver said, "She spent her waking hours really working on her job. The person that ultimately barely beat her, she called last night and gave congratulations, and they’re working together well. But frankly, to be honest, he doesn’t have a clue about how to run the clerk’s office. And it’s a lot more than just issuing marriage licenses."
Staver went on to add that the now-unemployed Davis finally has the opportunity to follow her bliss.
"I think what she’s going to do and where she’s been wanting to go, is into some form of ministry… That’s where the Lord is leading her this time," he explained.
