Kim Davis accused of invalidating marriage licenses for same-sex couples

Image
The county clerk who threatened to challenge Kim Davis's stance against participating in licensing homosexual "marriage" has accused her of invalidating her office's marriage license forms in violation of a court order . Rowan County Deputy Clerk Brian Mason 's lawyer told a federal judge Friday that Davis is trying to sidestep the court's order that she not interfere with the issuing of marriage licenses to same-sex couples by amending the forms and apparently making them invalid. "Mr. Mason's concern is he does not want to be the party that is issuing invalid marriage licenses and he is trying to follow the court's mandate as well as his superior ordering him to issue only these changed forms," Richard Hughes said in a CNN report . It is the latest turn in a contentious case hinging on the Supreme Court's June 29 imposition of homosexual "marriage" on all 50 states, and the religious freedom battle brought to the fore

People must ‘resist all attempts to normalize homosexual behavior’: Filipino bishops

Image
The Philippines ’ Catholic bishops conference has called on the faithful and especially political leaders to oppose same-sex unions in the wake of LGBT agitation sparked by the U.S. Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex “ marriage ” in the U.S. “ Catholics are called to resist all attempts to normalize homosexual behavior and homosexual unions in their culture,” declared the August 28 letter, titled “A Pastoral Response to the Acceptance of Homosexual Lifestyle and the Legalization of Homosexual Unions.” The letter called on Catholic politicians especially “to oppose the legal recognition of homosexual unions in a particularly vigorous way.” The bishops were careful to urge Catholics “to be charitable to every single homosexual person they know,” but especially those in their own family, thereby emphasizing the superiority of Christian love over the transitoriness of sexual affection. “In particular, families with members who struggle with homosexuality are called

Love wins?

Love wins? Developments in both the US and Canada related to family life and the LBGTQ , etc. movement are becoming ominous. The rage and hatred of those who are determined to force everyone to accept their unnatural sexual lifestyles and dangerous behaviors has been let loose. Tyrannical decisions by government and courts have led to this. The strategically created “hurting victim” veneer is rapidly falling away as long-sought-after power is being won. Now we are more clearly seeing the manipulation of language that has made many blind to the real plans of the natural marriage and family hating social destroyers. As Kim Davis was being arrested, homosexual activists shouted, “love wins, love wins”. How ironic. Yes, Kim Davis’s love for truth and her Lord did indeed win and will always win in the long run. So the chanting was accurate, but not for the reasons of the chanters.  Their supposed love is proving beyond all doubt to be a hatred, a diabolical form of “love”,

Lawless Judicial tyranny - next jail anybody who speaks against homosexual marriage?

Image
The outrageous action of a federal judge who has imprisoned Kentucky clerk Kim Davis for not wishing to personally being involved in certifying a same-sex 'marriage' because doing so violates her Christian beliefs.  This was a lawless ruling by the judge! Federal law requires government to seek a reasonable accommodation for officials who have religious objections to things like this, but the judge ignored Kim's pleas to find an accommodation. Instead, he sent her to jail and ordered her employees to issue gay 'marriage' licenses that bear her name. We must stand up to this judicial tyranny!   Kim Davis did not pick this fight with gay activists; she has been working hard to attempt to resolve a conflict that was created when the US Supreme Court illegitimately ruled last June that every state in the nation must license same-sex 'marriages.' For example, she asked that her name be removed from the license, but the state refused, even though

Walker, Jindal back Kentucky clerk on marriage licenses: ‘The Constitution is very clear’

Image
English: Scott Walker on February 18, 2011 (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Two more GOP presidential candidates have chimed in on the issue of whether Rowan County clerk Kim Davis must provide marriage licenses for same-sex couples. While three candidates   have publicly supported Davis' right to only provide marriage licenses for man-woman couples,   three others   have said she must do so or resign. This morning, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker   told Laura Ingraham , "In the end, this is the balance that you gotta have to have in America, between the laws that are out there, but ultimately ensuring that the Constitution is upheld. I read that the Constitution is very clear that people have freedom of religion -- you have the freedom to practice religious beliefs out there, it's a fundamental right ." Walker also said that he believes the Supreme Court erred in redefining marriage. That decision has led to Davis' circumstances, which include being in cou

Woman stands up to the tyranny of Obama's homosexual agenda

I'm pleased to let you know that Kim Davis , the Christian clerk in Kentucky, has been released from jail ! This is a great development, made possible because of the groundswell of support from hundreds of thousands of Americans across the country who rallied to her side. I am extremely proud of all the NOM supporters who stood with me and our allies, helping create this groundswell of support. While we are thrilled that Kim is out of jail and back home with her family, it's too soon to know if the case is resolved because the rogue federal judge who ordered her to jail in the first instance has told her she cannot interfere with deputy clerks who are issuing same-sex ' marriage ' licenses in her name. This is wrong! The state of Kentucky has an obligation to provide clerks like her the ability to not be personally complicit in the lie of same-sex 'marriage' which violates her religious beliefs. As Kim has asked since the beginning, and we have echoed,

Why Kim Davis should not have resigned

Image
So if she  could not, in good conscience, issue marriage licenses  to same-sex couples, why didn’t Kim Davis resign from her job as county clerk? I’m not privy to her reasoning, but I have my own reasons why she should not be expected to resign. Ordinarily, when a public official faces a crisis of conscience, the cause is either a change of responsibilities or a change of heart. Suppose a building inspector is asked to approve construction under a new code, and he firmly believes that the new buildings will be unsafe. If he cannot convince his superiors to amend the code, he should resign; he cannot carry out his responsibilities in good conscience. Or suppose (to use an example borrowed from a friend) an executioner experiences a religious conversion, and decides that capital punishment is immoral. He too should resign; he cannot carry out the duties for which he was hired. Kim Davis cannot, in good conscience, certify that two people of the same sex are eligible for marr

Judge Bunnings Bias Against Christians

Image
The federal judge who held Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis in contempt and ordered her to jail for refusing to sign marriage licenses has on two occasions denied Christian students in Kentucky public schools their First Amendment rights by ordering them to undergo re-education training promoting the homosexual lifestyle against their religious objections. ASHLAND, Ky. —  Following yesterday’s jailing of a county clerk for stating that it is not possible for her to obey an order to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals against God’s law, it is now being noted that the same federal judge also once ordered Kentucky students to be re-educated about homosexuality despite their objections. In 2003, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) —the same group that filed suit against Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis—sued the Boyd County Board of Education to force it to agree to allow a “gay-straight” alliance club to meet at Boyd County High School . A number of parents had strongly oppo
