Only Jesus is her boss.
She quits her job refusing to grant gay marriage licenses.
Linda Barnette, Grenada County Circuit Clerk resigned in protest of the Supreme Court of the United States’ decision to legalize gay marriage in all 50 nations. She would have to violate God’s law and compromise on her faith if she decided to continue with her job of issuing marriage licenses. Linda, who has served as the circuit clerk for 24 years affirms that her priority is God. "The Supreme Court's decision violates my core values as a Christian," she says. Her husband is a pastor who worked with Billy Graham Ministries. In her resignation letter, Barnette says she chooses God over man. "My final authority is the Bible. I cannot in all good conscience issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples under my name because the Bible clearly teaches that homosexuality is contrary to God's plan and purpose for marriage and family,” she said.
