US Clerk Refuses To Wed Gay by Barywhyte(m): 10:59pm On Sep 01, 2015
A county clerk in Kentucky refused to provide marriage licenses to gay couples Tuesday despite a Supreme Court injunction, saying that she was operating “under the authority of God.”

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis had stopped issuing all marriage certificates in mid-August following the high court’s landmark June 26 ruling legalizing gay marriage in the United States.

Davis had filed suit in federal court, arguing that her Christian religious beliefs should exempt her from the ruling. A federal judge however disagreed.

Davis appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court and sought an emergency stay, but the court rejected her motion.

On Tuesday, at least two gay couples entered the small county courthouse in Morehead, Kentucky demanding that Davis issue them marriage licenses. They were trailed by television cameras, reporters and gay rights activists.

“We are not issuing marriage licences today,” Davis said, according to footage recorded by a reporter for the local Courier-Journal newspaper.

“Under whose authority?” demanded one of the men seeking to get married. He accused Davis of discrimination.

“Under God’s authority,” she replied.

“My beliefs cannot be separated from me,” Davis added. “I’m willing to face my consequences, as you all will face your consequences when it comes time for judgment.”

When the couples said they would not leave until they were issued a license, Davis said: “Then you’re going to have a long day.”

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear in July ordered all county clerks to obey the Supreme Court’s ruling and allow same-sex marriages to take place, or resign.

On Tuesday the American Civil Liberties Union filed a motion to find Davis in contempt of court for refusing to issue the licenses. ACLU said the court set a contempt hearing for Thursday.

“This is overwhelming. It feels ridiculous,” said David Moore, who with his partner David Ermold was turned away by Davis, according to the daily.

“Who has to go through this to get married? This is 2015. This is America,” Moore added. “This is what we pay taxes for — to be treated like this.”

Until the US Supreme Court’s historic June ruling, the country’s 50 states formed a legal patchwork: some states had already legalized gay marriage, while others were forced to do so by federal courts, and others had continued to ban it.

I find it amusing that she has been divorced three times and had kids by her future 3rd husband while still married to her 2nd husband.

I wonder oo, even if there is a god, did she think she can trick such god. Her case have been a hitting issue on social media.

She forgot that she's working for US government not god.

Unfortunately reasoning with such people does not work. She may need to go to jail.

And what has this got to do with her rejection or disdain for homo marriages? At least she is not involved in lesbianism or other abomination. Her faith as a Christian forbid issuing such terrible document to gay people. She can resign tho if she can't continue to do the job.


I can smell homos on this thread.

Just pointing out her hypocrisy, which religious people tend to have by the boatload. Her marital history is entirely relevant because she is casting stones at other people while living in sexual sin. She needs to leave her current husband and go back to her first one in order to be taken seriously.

Ad hominem? The last refuge of someone with no argument.

And you smell atheists on this thread; how would you know what a homosexual smells like anyway.

Homosexuality is evil; devilish, ungodly and hell-bound. Fight it if you can. That's what we are talking. There is no hypocrisy in her life. If her first marriage doesn't work out, she can, if she so desire, seek another, as long as she is not involved in homo.


Am not atheist. Will never be one ok.

She can marry whosoever she like as long as the person is not woman. I can see you sweating defending homos which means that you are one.

I can't understand homos. Men marrying men and women marrying women: I can't understand it

nonreligous people tend to become 90% homos. It's not good to be nonreligous.

You christians are just stark hypocrites. The fact that you don't find a problem with her being an "Adulteress(according to your holy book) is not only hypocritical, it shows how hatred has eaten deep into your mind. Double standard at its peak

Okay, she was not born again? Have you heard of the word "restitution"? My sexual orientation is not the subject of discourse here, is it?

It is my guy. If you are not condemning an evil, then you are tactically in support of it. And who told you that she hasn't done restitution or how did you know that she has at least not tried to make restitution? If you are proud of your sexual orientation, then answer my question: Are you homo?

You are wrong. If the woman is not back with her first husband, she is an Adulteress. There's no other explanation or excuse.
Matthew 7: 
4"Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?
5"You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

Looking at these verses, the woman has no right to castigate any other "sinner".

Ad hominem. I see no correlation between my sexual orientation and our discussion. Now explain to me how homosexuality is detrimental to my fellow human or we accept the fact that you're an hypocrite.
