The Rowan County clerk, Kim Davis,
Believes that Jesus came to save us,
And her beliefs she would betray
OK’ing marriage that is gay.
The judge said, when he heard her tale,
Just do it, quit, or go to jail.
When she said no, he didn’t blink:
He tossed Kim Davis in the clink.
Ted Cruz and others now suggest
That Christians find themselves oppressed
For heeding a divine authority.
Poor Christians—an oppressed majority.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
