Apparently Kim Davis Cannot be Fired and a Circuit Training

A few days ago I said that Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis needs to move on or be fired for not issuing same sex couples marriage licenses because she did not agree with same sex marriage for religious reasons. Apparently because she is an elected official she cannot be fired and would have to be held in contempt of court and either be fined or locked up. Fortunately, a judge decided that since Ms. Davis probably has infinite funding from religious groups to pay any fine levied against her.... he would just have her ass thrown in jail. Since being locked up, the Deputy Clerks in the Rowan County office have issued the marriage licenses. Nice to see that some folks respect the law and the rights of ALL people.

We had a great showing at the evening circuit training with six participants cranking out a high energy upper body workout. Starting Monday we are shifting circuit trainings to 6:30am before work and moving strength training to after work at 5:30pm.

Perform each exercise in order for 1:15 to complete a set. Three sets total. One minute rest between sets.

Some Texas Counties on Same Sex Marriage and Leg Day

I cannot believe what I heard on the radio today. There are a number of counties in Texas that are ignoring the recent decision made by the Supreme Court of the United States making same sex marriage constitutional. These counties are not issuing these marriage licenses based on "religious reasons"?! What?!

I would guarantee that if the decision had gone in the other direction, if the Supreme Court had decided that same sex marriage is not a constitutional right then these same counties in Texas would be crowing from the rooftop of their county seat and beating us over the head with the ruling. You and your bigoted ways that denied a whole group of American citizens equal rights under the law lost. Get over it.

Today's quote is from Jon Huntsman Jr. (ironically):

"People truly reaching across boundaries - be they religious or race, political or geographic. A state that is sincerely civil and respectful of each individual's pathway toward life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness will be our goal."

Judicial and Leg Day!

Wow, today was quite a legal day! First, the Supreme Court of the United States finally decided that all of us are equal in the eyes of the law. Certainly a watershed moment, one that countless people have suffered for to finally see come to fruition. And in a much less dramatic moment, I am done with my jury duty and I am off the hook to go back here in Pima County for another two years!

Today's quote is from Barack Obama:

"I know a change for many of our LGBT brothers and sisters must have seemed so slow for so long. Real change is possible. Shifts in hearts and minds is possible. Sometimes there are days like this, when that slow, steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt."
