Christopher Ciccone, the openly gay brother of pop star Madonna, has defended Kim Davis, the Kentucky country clerk who is in jail for not issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, according to
The Hollywood Reporter.
"Once again, the gay community feels the need to be sore winners," Ciccone reportedly wrote on his Facebook page. "Is it so difficult to allow this women [sic] her religion? Or must we destroy her in order for her to betray her faith. No matter how we judge, it’s truth. The rights we have all fought for, mean nothing, if we deny her hers."
Ciccone admitted that Davis is required to follow federal law, but asked why she should do so when the U.S. Justice Department and other civil authorities don't follow federal laws they oppose. He cited Washington State and Colorado for legalizing marijuana or places such as San Francisco that have become "sanctuary cities" and don't turn illegal aliens over to immigration agents.
"I always thought that sanctuary was the province of churches," Ciccone wrote.
