FREEDOM’S GATE: Attorney Roger Gannam on God’s Law vs. Law
By Kevin Fobbs
WASHINGTON, Sept. 16, 2015 – On Monday Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis returned to work after having spent five days in jail in what former Arkansas governor and current presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is calling America’s criminalization of Christianity.
The high-profile case generated fierce opposition to Davis’ incarceration by U.S. District Judge David Bunning for her religious beliefs. One of the questions Christian supporters have asked is why Davis was seemingly targeted for denial of marriage licenses to same-sex couples, when at least three other Kentucky county clerks have also refused to issue marriage licenses, according to NBC News.
While Davis, who has become a national symbol and standard-bearer for Christian religious civil rights, was sitting in jail, the other clerks continued to deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples. In fact, NBC News reported that Whitley County clerk Kay Schwartz’s office was not granting marriage to gay or lesbian couples but only to heterosexual couples.
Was Davis targeted by same-sex marriage activists? Another Kentucky county clerk, Davis of Casey County, has not issued any marriage licenses at all and has suffered no legal repercussions for it.
