Barber: Issuing Gay Marriage Licenses ‘Would Be The Most Hateful Thing’ Kim Davis Could Do

On an upcoming episode of the “Faith and Freedom” radio program, Liberty Counsel’s Mat Staver discuss the case of Kim Davis with Matt Barber, who, though he has has reportedly left Liberty Counsel to start his own ultra-right wing website called BarbWire, still regularly appears as Staver’s co-host on the organization’s daily radio program.

Staver and Barber discussed Liberty Counsel’s representation of Davis, a Kentucky county clerk who has been jailed due to her ongoing refusal to allow her office to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, with Barber declaring that if Davis relents and agrees to issue such licenses, it would be “the most hateful thing that she could do.”

If Kim Davis were to put her “put her stamp of approval … on counterfeit gay marriage,” Barber said, “that is the least compassionate, most hateful thing that she could do, to issue same-sex marriage licenses to people who are about to enter into a counterfeit and false institution that is rooted in mortal sin, in the sin of homosexual immorality.”

Homosexuality is an “abomination,” Barber continued, “and if she were to engage in this, she would be leading others and supporting others in sin, putting her own self in danger of judgment. She wants a clear conscience before she stands before God.”
