Rowan County Clerk asks US Supreme Court to intervene in her standoff against gay<\/a> marriage<\/b><\/p>\n

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is hoping the US Supreme Court will step in and issue a stay on a federal court’s order that she begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex<\/a> couples<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Friday (28 August), lawyers for Davis made an emergency filing with the nation’s high court stating that Davis ‘holds an undisputed sincerely-held religious belief that marriage is a union between a man<\/a> and a woman<\/a>, only.’<\/p>\n

It states that Davis does not believe same-sex<\/a> marriage is marriage.<\/p>\n

‘If a S(same-sex<\/a> marriage) license is issued with Davis’ name, authorization, and approval, no one can unring that bell. That searing act of validation would forever echo in her conscience. And yet, the (same-sex<\/a> marriage) mandate demands that she either fall in line (her conscience be damned) or leave office (her livelihood and job for three-decades in the clerk’s office be damned).’<\/p>\n

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has previously weighed in telling Davis and other clerks to issue licenses or resign.<\/p>\n

Davis and her office have stopped issuing licenses to all couples<\/a>, including opposite sex<\/a> couples<\/a>, because of her religious objections to same-sex<\/a> marriage. She was sued by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of four couples<\/a> – two straight and two gay<\/a> – after a 26 June Supreme Court ruling made same-sex<\/a> marriage legal in all 50 states.<\/p>\n

The US Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday (25 August) denied a request by Davis to keep denying licenses while she appeals her case. A federal judge ruled earlier this summer that she could no longer legally refuse to issue and a three-judge panel of the appellate court stated they do not believe Davis has much of a chance of prevailing in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

Davis is being represented by the Florida-based Liberty Counsel.<\/p>\n
