The County clerk in Kentucky is causing quite a stir.

Kim Davis says she will not resign her office, and she will not issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.  Since she is an elected official, she can’t be fired.  For her, it is a matter of conscience and religious freedom.

She has been ordered by the court to issue the licenses but steadfastly refuses.  Several “couples” have initiated law suits against her.  She has received death threats and faces legal consequences, but she hasn’t blinked.

Davis can expect the full force of the court and the Obama Administration to use her as an example to intimidate others to give up their religious liberty or face the consequences.  Fortunately for her, the Liberty Council is providing her legal defense.

While she is being vilified, slandered and attacked, Franklin Graham (among others) have risen to support her position.  Here is the statement issued by Rev. Graham:

“I’m thankful and proud that Americans are standing up against the evil being forced on us. Our religious rights and freedoms are being trampled on. Clerk of Court Kim Davis in Rowan County, Kentucky, refused to issue marriage licenses for gay couples and defied the U.S. Supreme Court ruling. She said, ‘To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God’s definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience…For me it is a decision of obedience…It’s a matter of religious liberty.’  Kim has received death threats from people she doesn’t even know, and she has to appear in court on Thursday over a motion to hold her in contempt. We need more Americans who are willing to take a stand for religious freedoms and biblical values in our communities. If we don’t, we won’t even recognize the America that our children and our grandchildren will be left with. Pray for Kim Davis and for our nation today.”
