<\/p>\nKim Davis to Megyn Kelly: \u2018No Way\u2019 I\u2019d Give My Gay Child a Marriage License<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rowan County, Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis sat down with FOX News<\/a> anchor Megyn Kelly last night to talk about her refusal to issue marriage license to gay<\/a> couples<\/a>, her time in jail, her reasoning behind the refusals, and whether she’ll resign.<\/p>\n Said Davis:<\/p>\n “Marriage is defined as one man<\/a> and one woman<\/a>. It’s not like black and white. You’re not talking about a racial issue…So you have millions of Christians who object this whole same-sex<\/a> marriage issue. Are their rights invalid? Are their rights not worth anything? It’s a valid point. It’s a fight that’s worth fighting for.”<\/p>\n Kelly says President Obama talked about religious liberty in America and asks Davis if she believes it exists.<\/p>\n “In 2015 when a county clerk can go to jail because she is upholding her religious beliefs, I would have to question his statement.”<\/p>\n Adding:<\/p>\n “Megyn when I gave my life to the Lord, I vowed to serve him with my whole heart mind, body, and soul every bit of strength I had, and to me that’s a vow I want to keep, because that’s a Heaven or Hell issue to me….Do you know how many thumbs up I got, people in jail, hardened criminals in there for over 10 years, got messages to let her know we’re praying for her.”<\/p>\n Watch:<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Kelly asked Davis about being released from jail and what she felt at that insane rally<\/a>:<\/p>\n “The presence of God was very strong there. It was overwhelming. I was totally unprepared for that…It was like electric up there.”<\/p>\n About those who say hateful things about her:<\/p>\n “What people say about me does not define who I am. My God has transformed me.”<\/p>\n And the hardest part of the last few weeks?<\/p>\n “The hardest part was when Judge Bunning called my deputies in. When he called my deputies in to force and coerce them to follow his order, I told them, my conscience is mine and yours is yours. You’ll have to make a decision. I love you all and I will not lead you like sheep to the slaughter.”<\/p>\n If one of her children were gay<\/a>….<\/p>\n “I wouldn’t write them a marriage license. I would love them. I love all people. But I would not write them a marriage license. I have love in my heart for everyone. Everyone has a soul Megan and that’s what we’re bound as Christians to love and to reach for. “<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n How do you think you’ve come out of it, villain or heroine?<\/p>\n “Depends on if you love God or not what side you’re on.”<\/p>\n Will she resign?<\/p>\n “If I resign, I lose my voice. Why should I have to quit a job that I’m good at? I’ve been a county employee and I’ve served the public well for 26 years before I got elected.They can accommodate for all sorts of other issues, and we ask for one simple accommodation and we cannot receive it. It just does not seem right.?”<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The post Kim Davis to Megyn Kelly: ‘No Way’ I’d Give My Gay Child a Marriage License<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad<\/a>.<\/p>\nRELATED: Kim Davis Says She Has Gay Friends.
