This petition, along with included signatures, serves as a sign of support for marriage equality and the upholding of the ruling set forth by the Supreme Court of the United States in Obergefell v. Hodges.

It has come to the attention of the signers of this petition that the county clerk of Whitley County, Kentucky, Mrs. Kay Schwartz, has refused to order necessary forms and documents needed to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in Whitley County. Therefore, it is the purpose of this petition to detest that decision and demand the ruling established by the Supreme Court be upheld by the county, calling upon the decrees found within The United States' Constitution. It is the intention of this petition to have this injustice rectified immediately.
