GAY TRUTH

ROWAN COUNTY, A lawyer for embattled clerk Kim Davis says his client has won -- despite a decision against her yesterday. Liberty Counsel 's Mat Staver says that while the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals denied Davis' injunction request against Gov. Steve Beshear 's order that clerks hand out gay “marriage” licenses, that was only a preliminary decision and one that is "rarely granted." In a partial victory for Davis, "the court also denied the governor's request to [have the case] be dismissed," Staver told LifeSiteNews. No matter how the Sixth Circuit Court definitively rules, however, Davis -- who spent five days in jail   for contempt of court   -- has already won because "she does not have her name and title affixed to the marriage certificates ," explained Staver.   Davis and her attorneys will now open a new fight for religious liberty , this one inside the state of Kentucky . Staver argues that the state is "requ

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

(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

(Photo credit: Wikipedia ) The governor of Kentucky has a stark message for county clerks across the state: Either issue homosexual "marriage" licenses or lose your job. Governor Steve Beshear , a Democrat, refuses to make any consessions for religious freedom, or to protect the consciences of those who believe in natural marriage. Beshear issued a statement saying that government employees "must recognize same-sex marriages as valid and allow them to take place." Casey Davis is a clerk whose religion teaches that it is unloving to facilitate homosexual sodomy or lesbian sexual activity. He is among the Kentucky clerks who are not issuing licenses to homosexuals for religious reasons. Gov. Beshear ordered Davis to issue homosexual licenses, or else he must quit. "'Issue marriage licenses or resign' — those were the words," Davis told reporters aft

FRANKFORT, KY , March 18, 2014 – Kentucky is shaping up to be new territory in the fight for marriage. On March 4, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway , a Democrat ,  said that he would not appeal  District Judge John Heyburn 's decision that the state should accept the “marriages” of four couples who were “wedded” in other states but live in Kentucky. This week, the state's governor formally appealed the decision to the 6 th   Circuit Court , days after hiring a private law firm to defend a state statute and a constitutional amendment , both defining marriage as between a man and a woman. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear Gov. Steve Beshear, who is a Democrat, disagreed sharply with the decision of Conway to not defend the state's 1998 law and 2004 constitutional amendment. He has a contract to pay as much as $100,000 to the law firm.  Conway, who said he could not in good conscience defend the state law,  said he believed  “we cannot waste the resources of

FRANKFORT, KY , March 6, 2014– Pope Francis has unequivocally opposed same-sex “marriage.” As a cardinal he went so far as to call it a “machination of the Father of lies .” But that hasn’t stopped Catholic politicians from claiming him as their inspiration when they take part in overturning the traditional definition of marriage. Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway , a Catholic Democrat, became the latest to do so when he  explained  to  Time  magazine this week his decision not to defend his state’s marriage laws after a federal judge ruled Kentucky must recognize out-of-state same-sex “marriages.” In the words of  Time : A Catholic and a Democrat considering running for governor in 2015, Conway said he knew the decision could put him at odds with voters and with church leaders in his hometown. His thinking was shaped partly by statements from Pope Francis that encouraged openness toward gays. “Our new pope recently said on an airplane ‘Who am I to judge.’ The new

FRANKFORT, KY , February 27, 2014 – A federal judge refused to grant a stay to his ruling that Kentucky must recognize same-sex “marriages” conducted in other states, or foreign countries. That means the traditional, religious state must treat such unions as  bona fide  “marriages” at once. U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II   made the initial ruling on February 12 . On Thursday, he issued a final order striking down parts of a state law and a state constitutional marriage amendment supported by a wide majority of the voters. Judge John G. Heyburn II In 2004, 75 percent of the state's electorate approved a marriage protection amendment. Heyburn ruled that the measures “deny validly married same-sex couples equal recognition and benefits under Kentucky and federal law, those laws violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution , and they are void and unenforceable."
