GAY TRUTH

If you aren’t familiar with Barronelle Stutzman’s case, you need to be (watch above). Barronelle is a 74-year old grandmother and florist who was sued by Washington State and by the ACLU after she declined to participate in a gay wedding. She serves gay people in her store.  She has even hired gay people to work in her store. But she is a Christian and cannot in good conscience lend her talents to help celebrate a gay wedding. So when a gay man whom she had served for nine years in her store asked her to participate in his gay wedding, she told him that she could not because of her relationship with Jesus. She was apologetic, but she nevertheless did the right thing according to her Christian conscience. Word got out on social media about what happened, and the government and the ACLU sued her for violating anti-discrimination law. Her case went all the way to the Supreme Court, and the court ruled in her favor, vacated the Washington State court’s decision, and ordered the St

When I learned that President Trump had apparently changed his mind on  protecting religious  business owners and schools from government harassment and legal persecution, I’ll admit that I was angry. As Maggie Gallagher   explained , with a stroke of his pen, Trump could reverse executive orders and policies made by Barack Obama , who knew that there weren’t the votes in Congress to add “sexual orientation” or “gender identity” to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . So Obama declared that the federal government would henceforth play make believe, and act as if religious objections to homosexuality, and rational insistence that there are just two human sexes, were covered in the original law. (Which was passed back when sodomy was still in crime in most of those legislators’ states, when what happens in “sex change” operations was still called “castration.”) I guess Obama had seen the Supreme Court cram contemporary mores between the lines of the Constitution often enough, that he w

The American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit last Monday against Kim Davis and Rowan County , demanding $233,058 in expenses for suing to force Davis to sign her name to same-sex "marriage" licenses. The Rowan County clerk is called a hero by some and a villain by others after she refused to sign homosexual "marriage" licenses in 2015 because she sincerely believed that doing so would imply her consent and participation in something the Bible deems sinful.   U.S. District Judge David Bunning incarcerated Davis for a week, jailing her for "contempt" because she held to her religious convictions.   After serving the jail time, Davis took the names of county clerks off the licenses. She was granted that accommodation, first by the governor's executive order and then by legislation. But that did not satisfy gay activists, and the -  ACLU sued to force Davis to violate her conscience by issuing the old mar

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis has won the fight for religious freedom after a federal judge issued an order dismissing all three 2015 marriage license lawsuits against her yesterday. U.S. Judge David Bunning dismissed in their entirety, Miller v. Davis, Ermold v. Davis and Yates v. Davis, which brings to an end the trial proceedings against her arising from the 2015 Obergefell decision. Despite the ACLU's attempt to continue the case against Kim Davis and assess damages against her, the federal district court dismissed the case, closed the files and ordered all the pending cases to be removed from the docket. Davis, represented by Liberty Counsel, spent six days in jail last year for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in violation of her right to freedom of conscience. Davis would not issue the licenses because they had her name and authority on them. As a result, Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin signed an executive order creating one marriage license form which
