The calm that returned to Morehead, Kentucky - home to the county clerk who had refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples - could be short-lived when Kim Davis returns to work on Monday, along with crowds of demonstrators and the media.
Davis has been absent from work since she was released on Tuesday from a six-day stint in jail for her refusal to issue marriage licenses because it conflicted with her religious beliefs.
Supporters and critics alike are wondering what Davis will do on Monday, and whether her next move will send her back to jail, this time for a longer stay. A district judge has ordered her not to interfere with her five deputies who have agreed to issue marriage licenses to gay couples.
Before Davis became a rallying point for social conservatives and the debate over gay marriage in the United States, the rural town of 7,000 tucked in the Appalachian foothills was better known as the home of Morehead State University and its 11,000 students.

They’re saying that since ideas of marriage have “evolved” this ipso facto makes it okay for marriage to “evolve” in the direction it is being ballyhooed by the luggbutts.
They can’t miss that it still was a man and a woman who generally would have children and raise them in a family. This is not like the difference between cherry and strawberry pie. This is like the difference between cherry pie and a hunk of cement.
I picked it up at pookie 18’s weekday cartoon postings. Lot’s of good stuff there.
Wrote a few songs 25 or so years ago when I played drums and guitar in a few bands.
Nothing to write home about.
I have no tongue for sonnets or plays.
I love reading articles, but am not well book read. Have to look up a number of terms FReepers use every time i’m on the board, lol
Isn’t this a liberal stronghold? Years ago, 1940s or so, it may have been competitive politically.
Apples and oranges. Dowries were between private parties and nothing to do with the garriage fraud.
By the way, the Supreme Court did not redefine marriage, they undefined it.
“No, don’t fall for their misdirection. Marriage is between a man and a woman. How that man and woman get into that arrangement has nothing to do with the institution of marriage.”
Two thumbs up. Way up.
1. Prayer meeting
2. Arts and crafts
3. Bake sale
4. More prayer
As long as our side remains so weak and disorganized and p*ssified, that's what we can expect.
We’ve already redefined marriage? Redefined it as meaningless?
