Noah Michelson, Executive Editor at The Huffington Post's Gay Voices, returns to The Signorile Show today to help us close out the week with the stories making headlines in the LGBT blog-o-sphere. You can also follow Noah on twitter.
Following the Supreme
Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges
in June, Kim Davis, a clerk in Rowan County, Kentucky began refusing to issue
marriage licenses, saying that her Christian faith bars her from authorizing
same-sex marriages. As a result of her
decision she was promptly sued and a federal district judge in eastern Kentucky
ordered her issue the licenses, but delayed his order to allow time for an
appeal. Now, as of yesterday, The United
States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit upheld the lower court decision
and denied her request for a stay.
Joining me today to discuss the case and the ongoing fight for marriage
equality in Kentucky is Daniel J. Canon, one of the lawyers for the
plaintiffs.
