Job duties are job duties.. If I didn't do mine, I'd be fired or asked to resign, these clerks are no better. Religious beliefs or not!

She should be ashamed of herself. She took a oath when she became county clerk this oath did not dictate what she must believe, only that she must uphold her duty as a elected official. The fact that she thinks she has the right to deny marriage license from anyone is ridiculous. She needs to be charged with official misconduct and needs to be arrested and fined.

i think it's fair that everyone is legally aloud to marry. I know we live in a harsh, cruel, and judge mental area. But, if the rest of the country can change, so are we. There are so many successful people out there, who are gay, bisexual, transgender, etc. I feel as if those who do not support gay marriage can turn their head and not look. It's not hurting anyone. Honestly, it's making people happier.

As much as other parties ant to say that it is, this country was not founded PURELY because of Christianity, it was founded on the right to believe in what ever religion you want and to have the freedom to do as you choose. People need to step off the religious high horse and realize it's not all about what they think.

You ran for this office and knew your job responsibilities before you started. I am sure when you were sworn in you agreed to carry out the laws of the land without reservation. Why are the states/government allowing this to happen. If these officials aren't willing to fullfill their duties why are they still employed?

As a straight Christian, I am appalled by the fact that this clerk is refusing to do her job and uphold the law of the Supreme Court. It sickens me to see the hatred displayed and the utter lack of Christian behavior. I am a Christian for LGBTQ rights!

If you're not going to do anything with gay marriage because it's against the bible, then you shouldn't do divorces.

I understand that this issue may go against Kaye Swartz personal beliefs but she's employed by the people of Whitley County to serve them. By not complying with the Supreme Court ruling she's pushing her own personal agenda.

Simply put...if Kay Swartz cannot do the job that she is sworn to do, then she should resign or be relieved of her duties!

Religion and government/politics should never be mixed. Do your job or step aside and someone else will.

This lady needs to do her job, resign, or be fired. Immediately. It's very hypocritical of her to take a stance against ONE group of people. I wonder if she surveys everyone who enters her office to see if she deems them worthy of a marriage license? My tax dollars should NOT be spent to pay her salary if she can't follow the law, and if she isn't capable of doing her job.

If Mrs. Schwartz is not going to follow the law then maybe she should not be an elected official. It does not matter if she agrees with the law or not, she has a job to do.
