County clerk faces jail for her bigotry - US

This has finally come to a head. Kim Davis has attracted infamy for her religious stance against gay marriage. Ever since SCOTUS ruled that gay marriage was legal across the US she has stopped issuing marriage licences. A number of same sex couples have been turned away more than once whilst she appealed to the courts that she shouldn't have to do her job because the bible.

Now, all appeals are lost with the supreme court ordering her to issue licences or face contempt of court charges, which may involve jail time. Will she issue marriage licences to gay couples or will she go to jail for Jesus? 

Or will she simply do the right thing and resign from her job. It's obvious she's incapable of performing it. She's not living in a theocracy. 

The Supreme Court on Monday ruled against the Kentucky county clerk who has refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses, and the clerk will arrive at work Tuesday morning to face her moment of truth. 

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis will have to choose whether to issue marriage licenses, defying her Christian conviction, or continue to refuse them, defying a federal judge who could pummel her with fines or order that she be hauled off to jail. 

"She's going to have to think and pray about her decision overnight. She certainly understands the consequences either way," Mat Staver, founder of the law firm representing Davis, said on Monday, hours before a court-ordered delay in the case expired. "She'll report to work tomorrow, and face whatever she has to face." 

A line of couples, turned away by her office again and again in the two months since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized gay marriage across the nation, plan to meet her at the courthouse door. 

"Wow, wow, wow, I can't believe it, we might finally be able to get a license tomorrow," April Miller said Monday night, shortly after the court's decision. She has been denied twice to marry her partner of more than a decade. more
