A town clerk in western New York says she’s resigning over her religious opposition to gay marriage.
Laura Fotusky submitted a letter of resignation to the town board in Barker on Monday, saying her religious beliefs prevent her from signing a marriage certificate for a gay couple, as she’d be required to do as a municipal clerk. The letter was published on the website of the Christian lobbying group New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms.
The 56-year-old Republican has served since 2007. She says she’ll step down on July 21, three days before New York’s law allowing same-sex marriage takes effect.

Good Work, Sorry to hear she had to do this but she is doing the right thing, just not the easy thing. We all have to stand on our morals much taller than before!
God Bless Her
This won’t placate the Gaystapo. They’ll still try to destroy her.
I´d like to think I would have fought it out for awhile.
She did what she had to do to satisfy her conscience. Good!
I actually know this lady. Real nice family. My husband works with her husband. I told hubby that I hope that family has protection by way of firearms because the militantly pro gay movement in NYS is quite powerful.
Ironically, hubby’s brother is a militant gay (liberal) activist in Rochester NY!!
