Kentucky Clerk Chooses to Go Jail Over Submission

Kim Davis was taken to prison after defying the the Supreme Court by not issuing any marriage licenses. Kim Davis is a Pentecostal Christian who made it clear to gay couples she would not issue any marriage licenses when they came, this was taken to Court which decided that she should either repent and issue licenses or be held in contempt of Court. She defied the Court and was taken to jail Thursday.

Kentucky had officially outlawed any attempt to redefine marriage for more than a decade before June's decision redefined legal marriage across America. Many in Kentucky disagreed with the decision but not everyone of those side with the clerk. Many who stand by the traditional definition of marriage believe she should leave her position because the government has become corrupt. Still, others are more than willing to protest what they view as persecution. Both pro-homosexuality and traditionists chanted outside the Court House in Ashland.

One Lesbian couple have plotted a lawsuit against Mrs. Davis; it's unclear how much they plan to sue the women for follow her own conscience and religious beliefs.

Davis has been criticized for having married four times but says she only became a truly Born Again four years ago after obeying her dying mother's wish that she hear The Gospel.
