A woman, Linda Barnette, who has been issuing
marriage licenses in Mississippi for 24 years, took
a stand following passage of the same sex law by
the US Supreme Court.
Linda Barnette
The Mississippi city official on Tuesday 30 June, 2015
stepped down from a post she has held for 24 years
old in defiance of the new.
The United States of America recently legalized same
sex marriage causing outrage in some quarters.
Barnette, citing her faith, said she would not
be issuing gay marriage licenses. She told Fox News: “I choose to obey God rather
than man. I am a follower of Christ and I believe
strongly that the Bible is my final authority. The Bible
teaches that a marriage is to be between a man and
a woman. Therefore, because of the recent ruling of
the U.S. Supreme Court, I can no longer fulfill my
duties as Circuit Clerk and issue marriage licenses to
same sex couples.”
“I told my supervisors a while back if it happened, I
would tender my resignation. I had already decided in
my heart that I could not issue marriage licenses to
same sex couples. It’s my Christian belief. As a
follower of Christ, I could not do it. The Bible teaches
it is contrary to His plan.”

You made the right decision Barnette, May you continue to do God's will rather than men. Your rewards are with our heavenly father who created the heavens and the earth and order woman to leave his father and mother to become one flesh with the husband and not the other way round.
