In a letter to the board of
supervisors, Grenada County
Circuit Clerk Linda Barnette
announced her resignation on
Tuesday, citing the Supreme
Court's decision to legalize same- sex marriage. Barnette has been the circuit
clerk for 24 years, and
announced that her resignation
is effective immediately. "The Supreme Court's decision
violates my core values as a
Christian," she wrote. "My final
authority is the Bible. I cannot in
all good conscience issue
marriage licenses to same-sex couples under my name because
the Bible clearly teaches that
homosexuality is contrary to
God's plan and purpose for
marriage and family." www.clarionledger.com/story/news/2015/06/30/grenada-circuit-clerk-resigns-over-same-sex-marriage/29508097/
