Westboro Baptist Church to picket 'hypocrite' Kim Davis over multiple marriages

The church called her a 'proud, self-righteous hypocrite'

Kim Davis went to jail for six days for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, citing her biblical opposition

The Westboro Baptist Church are planning to picket the home of Kim Davis, who spent six days in jail for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

The church says she is a "proud, self-righteous hypocrite" and an "adulterer".

"God Almighty put a spotlight upon the proud, self-righteous hypocrites that think the same-sex marriage sin is worse than their adultery sin," the church said in a statement.

They went on to mention Ms Davis' four marriages, which it says are adulterous, claiming: "That man that Kim Davis is living with, and calling her husband, IS NOT! Her husband is Dwain Wallace, who she married when she was 18-tears-old.

"It was adultery at the beginning, adultery in the middle and it is indeed adultery today!"

Ms Davis was sent to jail for six days on 3 September for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, citing her biblical opposition to same-sex marriage.

The Westboro Baptist Church, formerly led by hate preacher Fred Phelps and his immediate family, are known for protesting soldiers funerals, where they claim the deceased were killed because "god hates fags".
