Matt Bevin, Kentucky governor elect Matt Bevin said Friday that he will execute an order when he takes office on Dec. 8 that would protect clerks who did not want to be apart of gay marriage licensing.

Though Steve Bashear, Kentucky's current governor, has stated that he doesn't have the power to change the form, Bevin claims that he will do it by executive order, according to the Inquisitor.

"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, Reuters reported

The U.S. supreme court declared on June 26 it was unconstitutional to refuse gay couples the right to get married, citing the 14th amendment.  Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis was jailed for five days due to her unwillingness to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. Davis explained that she refused to sign the license because she was "upholding the word of God and how God defined marriage from the very beginning of time." It is unclear right now as to how Bevin's new policies would affect her.

"I think the people of Kentucky have clearly spoken ..." Bevin said, according to The Courier Journal. "We have a clear political mandate where the people clearly state, 'We want something new. We want to be heard.'"
