Image
A third elected county clerk in Kentucky has joined Kim Davis in refusing to violate her conscience and the constitution of the state of Kentucky by issuing 'marriage' licenses to same-sex couples . According to media reports , Whitley County Clerk Kay Schwartz will not issue same-sex marriage licenses which are illegal under Kentucky law. The ACLU is considering a lawsuit to attempt to force her to issue the licenses even though doing so violates both her conscience and the state constitution. Whitley County clerk says she is issuing marriage licenses, but not to same-sex couples WHITLEY COUNTY, Ky. ( WYMT ) - Kentucky has become a focal point in the debate over same-sex marriage, after Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis refused to issue marriage licenses following the June supreme court ruling legalizing gay marriage nationwide. Casey County Clerk Casey Davis and Whitley County Clerk Kay Schwartz also stopped issuing marriage licenses because of their religious oppositio

Kim Davis may be the face of the marriage resistance - but she’s not the only clerk fighting

Kim Davis isn't the only county clerk refusing to lend her name as an elected official to the U.S. Supreme Court's edict imposing homosexual "marriage" on the nation. Others are doing so without the media display, being sued, or   ending up in jail . A total of three Kentucky clerks have   refused to issue "marriage" licenses   to same-sex couples, along with nine Alabama counties ,   according   to NBC News . Davis has been made the face of resistance to   judicial tyranny . None of these others has. Davis was   released from jail   Tuesday after being incarcerated on a contempt of court charge last week, for declining based upon her religious beliefs to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis contended that putting her name as county clerk on the licenses was synonymous with her giving approval. She had refused to issue licenses to opposite-sex couples as well, so as to not discriminate against anyone. Last Friday, the day

Kim Davis returns to work and pledges again not to sign gay ‘marriage’ licenses

Image
Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis returned to work and read from her handwritten statement just prior to opening the Clerk's office. She began by saying, "I love my Lord Jesus , I love all people, and I love my job. I want to continue to serve all three as I have tried to do until now." During parts of her statement, Kim Davis became emotional, especially when she explained that she had been placed in a position to violate her conscience, which she said she could not do. Kim Davis said that from the beginning she had asked for a reasonable accommodation to remove her name and authoritative title as the Clerk of Rowan County from the marriage licenses , a request that has been ignored or not acted upon by Governor Beshear or the court. She explained that she could not issue a license with her name and title affixed to it that authorizes a marriage that is contrary to God 's definition of marriage as the union of one man and one woman. Because she could not viola

Immoral illegitimate Supreme Court

It's been a week since Kim Davis went back to work pledging to continue to fight for her religious liberty rights and not be forced to issue 'marriage' licenses to same-sex couples that include her name or are issued under her authority. In fact, she had the license forms issued by her office going forward be reprinted to remove her name and include a reference that they were being issued by deputies by order of the federal court. She firmly believes that the licenses issued to gay couples under order of federal judge David Bunning are invalid because she has specifically refused to grant her authority to deputies for them to be issued. Meanwhile, liberal politicians like Governor Steve Beshear and Attorney General Jack Conway — both of whom so readily abandoned the 75% of Kentucky voters who passed a constitutional amendment reserving marriage solely to one man and one woman — have quickly weighed in that the disputed licenses are valid. Of course their views are

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

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

‘It is a Heaven or Hell decision’: Why a Kentucky clerk won’t back down on marriage licenses

English: Governor of Kentucky Steve Beshear at the Fancy Farm picnic in Fancy Farm, Kentucky. (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) ROWAN COUNTY, KY ,  -- Kim Davis , the embattled Christian county clerk, says that she has "no animosity toward anyone and harbor[s] no ill will" -- but nor will she violate "marriage and God's Word." In a statement released by Liberty Counsel , Davis -- who has appealed a lower court decision requiring her to give marriage licenses to gay couples --  said that to provide the licenses would be "to violate a central teaching of Scripture and of Jesus Himself regarding marriage." "To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God’s definition of marriage , with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience," she said. "It is not a light issue for me. It is a Heaven or Hell decision. For me it is a decision of obedience. I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will." Two p

Gavin Newsom acted illegally homosexual marriages

Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Flashback: the year is 2004, and same sex marriage is illegal in California (by a law approved by voters in 2000 and affirmed by the State Legislature—this was the “everything but marriage” approach to the SSM issue, allowing same-sex couples the same legal rights as married couples, just without the word “marriage”). San Francisco mayor , Gavin Newsom , ordered the county clerk to illegally start issuing marriage licenses to same sex couples. The California Supreme Court stepped in, ordering the process stopped. Eventually the Federal Courts stepped in and ordered the process started again, under the ridiculous legal reasoning that sense that county clerk had allowed licenses to begin with, there was no rational reason to stop the process. Present Day: Unlike California, Rowan County, Kentucky elects their county clerks. Before running for clerk herself, Kim Davis (a democrat) had worked in the cl

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”,
