GAY TRUTH

Kim Davis has lost another appeal with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals . The Associated Press reports that the Kentucky clerk's attorneys with Liberty Counsel argued that only the four couples who sued David for not giving them same-sex "marriage" licenses should have received the papers. Instead, all same-sex couples were granted licenses, in a revised decision by U.S. District Judge David Bunning . Bunning is also the judge who jailed Davis for contempt of court when she refused to issue the licenses, despite his order. Earlier this week, Davis also asked the Sixth Circuit Court to overturn four lower-court decisions against her; it is not known how the Court will respond to that request.

ROWAN COUNTY, Kentucky , November 3, 2015 -- Kentucky clerk Kim Davis is taking her fight to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals . In a 126-page appeal, Davis and her attorneys with Liberty Counsel asked the Circuit Court to overturn four lower-court decisions. Specifically, they are asking the Court to reverse two injunctions against Davis, as well as grant her an injunction from having to follow the Supreme Court's marriage ruling, and overturn the contempt of court decision   that placed her in jail . Davis became a national figure for religious liberty after refusing to sign same-sex "marriage" certificates. One of her attorneys   told LifeSiteNews that they effectively won the legal fight , but that the fight continues   because LGBT activists won't stop pressing Davis to put her name on "marriage" certificates for same-sex couples . Davis' arguments have relied heavily on the U.S. Constitution , the Kentucky Constitution, and the stat...

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, ...

English: Antonin Scalia, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) In defiance of a federal judge and the state’s governor, a Kentucky county clerk’s office continued to refuse to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples today, upsetting homosexuals and supporters of homosexual “marriage”. "I will say that people are cruel, they are cruel, these people are cruel,” David Ermold responded in tears, according to an ABC News   report . Ermold, who was denied a license to “marry” his male partner only hours after U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis to comply with  Obergefell v. Hodges , used the refusal to allege discrimination for his sexual orientation. “This is how gay people are treated in this country,” Ermold stated. “This is what it's like. This is how it feels.” James Yates and William Smith Jr. were also turned away in Rowan County on Thursday, after having been refu...

As judges country-wide are invalidating state marriage protection amendments, a new poll out of Ohio shows that not everyone is thrilled with the march toward a wholesale redefinition of marriage – in fact, the majority of Ohioans oppose making same-sex “marriage” legal. Homosexual activists are currently gathering signatures for a petition to repeal the state’s marriage protection amendment , which was passed by 62 percent of voters in 2004 and constitutionally defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman.  But although the petition has already garnered more than 650,000 votes – far more than the 385,000 needed to appear on the ballot this year – sponsors of the effort have opted not to move forward with the initiative process because they’re worried they don’t have the votes. According to a recent Columbus Dispatch poll, 46 percent of Ohioans oppose the proposed repeal of the state’s marriage protection amendment, compared to just 43 percent who support ...

Jeffrey S. Sutton, Circuit Judge (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Some arguments just have to be made, and made well. In the case of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit , the moment for such an argument arrived last week when that court had to rule on appeals over the question of same-sex marriage coming from the four states in its federal jurisdiction, Michigan , Ohio, Kentucky, and Tennessee. In each case, Federal District Courts had struck down measures banning same-sex marriage. Now, the question loomed before the three judge panel of the Sixth Circuit. Until last week, no federal appeals court had ruled against same-sex marriage in the aftermath of the U. S. Supreme Court ’s 2013  Windsor  decision striking down the federal government’s Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA]. That changed when the panel of the Sixth Circuit, in a 2-1 decision, affirmed the measure limiting marriage to one man and one woman in the four covered states. The decision sent sho...

Same Sex Marriage (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) What the  New York Times  correctly calls “the steady march of judicial approval for same-sex marriage over the past year” hit a speed bump, if not a road block, this week as the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit heard arguments in six same-sex marriages cases appealed by four states. Judges have been marching in lock-step to overturn democratic laws which define marriage as the union of a man and a woman. More than more than two dozen lower courts and two appeals courts have ruled that gay couples have a right to marry. Some states have fought back, including Kentucky, Michigan , Ohio and Tennessee, whose cases came before three judges of Sixth Circuit this week. “Who gets to decide what the definition of marriage is?” asked Aaron D. Lindstrom, solicitor general of Michigan. And for once, it seems, a judge thought it was a good question.  The Times  reports: Judge Jeffrey S. Su...

DETROIT, March 24, 2014 – Judge Bernard Friedman struck down Michigan's state constitutional marriage protection amendment late Friday afternoon. But that does not mean the state will recognize such unions as legal marriages yet. In 2004, some 59 percent of Michigan voters amended the state constitution to read: “To secure and preserve the benefits of marriage for our society and for future generations of children, the union of one man and one woman in marriage shall be the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose.” This was enacted “for future generations of children.” Judge Bernard Friedman was named to the bench in 1988 by President Ronald Reagan April DeBoer and Jayne Rowse, a lesbian couple, sued for the right to adopt one another's children. On Friday Judge Friedman, a Reagan appointee, ruled that the state's amendment, supported by 2.7 million Michigan residents, violated the U.S. Constitution, paving the way for homosexua...
