| Linda Barnette |
A county clerk named Linda Barnette has issued marriage licenses in Grenada County, Missisipi
for 24yrs. On Tuesday June 30th, she resigned rather than
issue gay marriage licenses, writing in her letter of resignation;
"I choose to obey God rather than man. I am a follower of Christ and I believe strongly that the Bible is my
final authority. The Bible teaches that a marriage is to be
between a man and a woman. Therefore, because of the recent ruling of
the U.S. Supreme Court, I can no longer fulfill my duties as Circuit
Clerk and issue marriage licenses to same sex couples."
“I told my supervisors a while back if it happened, I would tender my
resignation. I had already decided in my heart that I
could not issue marriage licenses to same sex couples. It’s my Christian
belief. As a follower of Christ, I could not do it. The Bible teaches
it is contrary to His plan.” she told a Fox News reporter
