Kentucky Governor-elect Matt Bevin said on Friday that when he takes office in December he will order changes to the state marriage license form to appease clerks who have objected to issuing licenses to same-sex couples.
"One thing I will take care of right away is we will remove the names of the county clerks from the marriage form," Bevin told reporters in the Capitol rotunda.
Bevin, the second Republican elected governor in Kentucky since 1971, said he would make the change by executive order.
He's doing in wake of the Kim Davis incident. If someone can't do the job they were elected to do then they should step down or be removed. We shouldn't change things to accommodate their beliefs. We have separation of church and state for a reason.
