It looks like Kim Davis could become TIME's Person of the Year for 2015. It's important to note that the title isn't an award or isn't an honor and has gone to the likes of Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin in the past. Person of the Year is the person who, for better or for worse, most influenced the events of the preceding year.
What do you think? Should it be Kim Davis?
Personally, I thought it would end up being Caitlyn Jenner. It needs to be somebody affiliated with the LGBT-rights movement being that the issue has been front and center this year as well as the increased polarization of liberals and conservatives over the issue. 2015 is the year that the culture war between the Christian Right and those who believe in liberty for all has climaxed to the point where it is nearing a breaking point.
Aaron Rodgers is more deserving of the award for that 62 yard bomb he threw to win last night's match against the Lions than either of these two wingnuts.

How about the plaintiffs in Obergefell v. Hodges, the lawsuit that eventually made same sex marriage legal?

Kim Davis doesn't matter. There's not one logical reason to give her more recognition that she already got because a dying world view is desperately clinging to life.
As for Caitlyn Jenner, that's a little better, but again, is that the best we can come up with? Was no one else more influential.
Frankly, my top picks would be Trump, Bernie, Putin, or maybe some influential Middle Eastern leader. Frankly, I think Putin would be a great idea. Let's highlight the fact that he invaded Ukraine, has declared war on Turkey more or less, and kills people he doesn't like. Also, that many Americans, mostly conservatives it seems, seem to like this Soviet era dictator.
Bernie would also be a valid choice, as he seems to be the only US presidential candidate who is even remotely critical of the political system and doesn't talk down to voters as if they're too stupid to understand anything.
If she wins, that significantly diminishes the relevance of Time magazine and of that title.
She's about as absurd a choice as Charles Manson or Charlie Sheen or that Nanny who Ben Affleck cheated on his wife with or Kanye West or Lamar Odom or any of the Kardashians or Scott Walker.
