Kentucky To Pay Over $1.1 Million In Legal Fees To Same-Sex Marriage Attorneys

The state of Kentucky has been ordered by the federal Western District Court of Kentucky to pay $1,115,632.96 in attorney fees and costs to the lawyers who fought for marriage equality in the state.

The losing side of a court battle often has to pay the winning side’s legal fees. And as we know, the good guys won this one.

Lots of states avoided this by seeing the writing on the wall and dropping opposition to same-sex marriage.

Kentucky did not have the good sense to do that.

Iowa: Mike Huckabee Loses His Cool Defending Duggar Family

As we all know, Mike Huckabee enjoyed aligning himself with the Duggar family due to their popular TV show 19 Kids & Counting, and their very anti-gay “Christian” views.

Even when the story came out that son Josh Duggar had molested several of his sisters while they were little, Huckabee tried to keep his friendship with the family. But eventually, he pulled away when the story continued to snowball as it was revealed Josh had spent thousands on pornography and lap dances.

At a town hall in Iowa last night, Huckabee flipped out when a woman asked why he “supported child abuse” for so long by supporting the Duggars.

Huckabee loses his cool here, gets into it a bit and eventually has the woman removed.

Huckabee is averaging about 2.4% in advance of the state’s upcoming caucus’s.

DUCK DYNASTY Star Phil Robertson Endorses Ted Cruz For President

Sen. Ted Cruz lays claim to the high honor of being endorsed by the Duck people.

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has released a new video wherein he goes duck hunting with Cruz, camouflage, grease paint and all.

You’ll recall Phil Robertson is virulently anti-gay and got in some trouble a while back for sharing those opinions. It eventually brought about the demise of his popular show.

From the Houston Chronicle:

Robertson says in the endorsement video that his qualifications for a president include someone who is godly and who would “kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo.” He says Cruz “fits the bill.”

Cruz defended Robertson in 2014 when he got in trouble for declaring that gays are sinners and that African-Americans were happy under Jim Crow laws.

I did think it odd that Robertson kept referring to Cruz as “my man.” What all goes on in those duck blinds?

Indiana: Gov. Mike Pence Indicates Support For Religious Freedoms Over LGBT Protections

Indiana Gov. Mike Pence

In his State of the State address last night, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said he plans to put religious freedom issues over anti-discrimination policies for LGBTs.

From LGBTQ Nation:

The Republican governor said in his half-hour televised State of the State speech before legislators that no one should be mistreated because of “who they love or what they believe.” But he also said that “no one should ever fear persecution because of their deeply held religious beliefs.”

“I will not support any bill that diminishes the religious freedom of Hoosiers or interferes with the constitutional rights of our citizens to live out their beliefs in worship, service or work,” Pence said.

Major business leaders across the state were NOT impressed.

Speaking for the group Indiana Competes, which represents prominent state business interests, Peter Hansom said,“We were looking for a moment of leadership, and what we got is a shoulder shrug.”
