Christian Clerk Jailed For Refusing To Issue Gay Marriage Certificates by intrepid: 9:33pm On Sep 04, 2015

Kentucky county clerk, Kim Davis, violated the Supreme Court order and refused to give homosexual couples marriage licenses. She has been found in contempt of court and has been sent to jail until she agrees to comply.

Over 100 protesters and demonstrators lined the street with opposing views, shouts, signs, religious rants and calls for marriage equality. For conservatives, fear has struck a nerve. For supporters of marriage equality, this has hit close to home.

One man shouted with a microphone, “If we want to live like Sodom and Gomorrah, God will punish us like Sodom and Gomorrah,” he said, referencing Genesis 19:23-26.

USA Today writes, “Ashley Hogue, a secretary from Ashland held a sign outside the courthouse that read, ‘Kim Davis does not speak for my religious beliefs. This is so ugly,’ she said, wiping away tears. ‘I was unprepared for all the hate.'”


A courtroom of 300 seats was full for the hearing.

When animals became higher beings.

In my Junior Sec Sch days, man was described as higher beings above animals but today, even the supposed 'civilized' country, animals are better than an average man. What a shame.

If this is the prize of civilization, we better till the ground with our bare hands.
