The staff of a county clerk’s office in Tennessee quit over the legalizing of gay marriage.
The Decatur County Clerk’s office decided that they are going to object to the SCOTUS ruling legalizing gay marriage by walking out of their jobs. The entire staff of three decided to quit instead of issuing same sex marriage licenses, writes the publication Raw Story.
Jay Hart of the British semi-pro soccer team Clitheroe was cut from the team after video of him and the fan you see was made public. They were having sex in the opposing team’s dugout after a match, writes the publication Screamer.
The match in question was a 4-1 Clitheroe loss to team Mossley. Coincidentally, Mossley had advertised the game as “ladies day” in appreciation of their female fans, according to Screamer and The Daily Mirror.
While the two were going at it, someone nearby secretly began recording the encounter. Afterward, the video was shared online and caught the attention of Hart’s football club, which swiftly made the decision to get rid of the player.
The Mirror:
“Striker Jay Hart can be heard laughing on the mobile phone footage as he was caught still in his club T-shirt…”
The Mirror continues:
“The face of the fan cannot be seen. Within hours of the footage being circulated to team-mates and fans, Hart was sacked by the club, who play in Evo-Stik Division 1 North.”
Club chairwoman Anne Barker said that Hart had brought the club into disrepute. She said “Any players, while wearing a Clitheroe tracksuit, represents the club.”
“We expect a certain level of behavior and discipline. And that wasn’t it.”
To his credit, Hart – of Accrington, Lancashire – apologized for the incident and said he was “full of regret.”
The video appears to have been scrubbed from the internet. However, there is still an image on twitter.
The story isn’t all fun, though. Hart’s girlfriend slammed whoever was responsible for posting the video clip, according to The Daily Mirror.
She took to the Clitheroe Football Club Facebook page to vent her frustration at those who had made light of the incident.
She wrote: “Have a bit of decency for the people it’s affected. Thank god my kids are too young to read.”

Twenty-eight inmates escaped from a Brazilian jail after three women in “fantasy police” outfits reportedly seduced prison wardens. The event happened in February.
Police found three wardens naked and handcuffed inside the Nova Mutum public jail, near Cuiaba, central Brazil, the morning after the break-out.
The women reportedly drugged the prison guards by giving them spiked whisky after convincing them to take part in an orgy, according to investigators.
Inmates then left the prison through the main doors, even taking with them guns and munitions they had taken from prison caches.
Police later found a bag of lingerie and “dominatrix” police uniforms believed to have been worn by the seducers, states starrfmonline.
Photos of one the naked wardens, believed to have been leaked by amused police officers who found him, have been shared thousands of times on social network sites.

Fox News’ Outnumbered discussed how feminist moms “give it up freely” without getting married.
Are there legal aspects to “Fifty Shades Of Grey”-type “kinky” sex?
MSNBC speaks with attorney Tamara Tabo about the legal risk of “kinky” and abusive sex that she wrote about in her article ‘Above the Law.”
Her article addresses such topics as “proof of consent,” “legal validity of consent,” and “withdrawal of consent.”
The Jeffrey Epstein / Alan Dershowitz / Prince Andrew child sex scandal has for the most part fallen through the cracks of mainstream media’s attention.
Billionaire Epstein previously somehow got off with a “slap on the wrist” for sex trafficking minors and there are accusations of “shady deals” with authorities.
In March 2005, a woman alleged her 14-year-old daughter had been taken to Epstein’s mansion by an older girl and paid money after stripping and massaging Epstein.
Wikipedia:
“Police started an 11-month undercover investigation of Epstein, followed by a search of his home. Subsequently, they alleged that Epstein had paid several escorts to perform sexual acts on him.
“Papers filed in 2006 state Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places in his property to record sex between prominent people and underage prostitutes for criminal purposes like blackmail.
“Instead of following police recommendation, the prosecutors considered the evidence weak and presented it to a grand jury, an uncommon procedure in non-capital cases.
“In June 2008, after pleading to a single state charge of soliciting prostitution from girls as young as 14, Epstein began serving an 18-month sentence. He served 13 months, and upon release became a registered sex offender.”
Some think the story has the potential to become the “Bill Cosby scandal on steroids.”
Here, Mike Papantonio and Thom Hartmann discuss it.
Ring of Fire
According to the ACLU, a Nationwide Insurance worker alleged that she was denied a place to pump breast milk when she returned to work from maternity leave. When she protested, the woman – Angela Ames – was coerced into resigning by her supervisor, who told her she should “just go home and be with your babies”.
Last week, the Supreme Court sent her the same message – go home – rejecting her petition for a review of the dismissal of her case. The denial of her petition effectively means the end of the line for her case.
The courts dismissed Angela’s case saying that she didn’t take sufficient steps to complain internally before writing her letter of resignation – even though her own supervisor was the one who handed her the pen and dictated what to write – and therefore, she wasn’t really fired. The courts found it irrelevant that Angela was supposed to take these additional steps while engorged and waiting for a pumping room that her employer told her wouldn’t be available for several days, according to the ACLU.

According to the BBC, Prince Andrew’s former wife Sarah Ferguson has said she cannot just stand by when “shockingly accusatory allegations” that he had sex with an underage teenager are being made.
Speaking on US TV, Ms. Ferguson referred to Buckingham Palace’s statement that the claims were “categorically untrue”. The prince was a “great father and humongously good man”, she added.
It was the second time she had come to his defense since the allegations became public this month.
US lawyer and former Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz, accused of having sex with an under-age girl in a case involving British Prince Andrew, has begun legal action to clear his name.
The Duke of York and Mr. Dershowitz were named in US court papers relating to the handling of a case against financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Lawyers representing the person prosecuting, now an adult, say they are preparing to present evidence of her claim.
Buckingham Palace says the sex claims against the duke lack “any foundation”.
Mr. Dershowitz filed papers at a court in Florida, where the case is being heard, to contest what he described as “absolutely outrageous claims”.
Dershowitz has asked for his name to be removed from documents which accuse him and Prince Andrew of having sexual relations with Virginia Roberts, known in court as Jane Doe #3, who was under the age of consent at the time of the alleged incidents.
Mr Dershowitz and Prince Andrew are two of three well-known men named in court documents. In his submission to the court, Mr Dershowitz said he had been a victim of “salacious and scurrilous” allegations and wanted to take action to protect his reputation.
Before his papers were filed, lawyers for the woman said they stood by their story and challenged Mr Dershowitz to provide any evidence that he believed would refute their allegations.
The lawyers later filed a lawsuit against Mr Dershowitz, claiming comments he made during media interviews amounted to defamation against them.
Speaking to Reuters news agency about his legal action, Mr Dershowitz said: “We file a sworn declaration categorically denying the charges and proving by records and other travel documents that I could not have been in the places that she says that she had sex with me.
“We file a motion to intervene in the court and then we file a defamation action against the two lawyers and the woman. And then we file disbarment proceedings against the two lawyers.”
Ms. Roberts and another woman are attempting to bring their case to court by joining action already being taken by two other women, part of a wider case involving Epstein.
Ms. Roberts’s lawyers issued a statement following Mr Dershowitz’s declaration being filed, stating that the four women “do not oppose Mr Dershowitz having an opportunity to present his arguments to the court.
“Jane Doe #3 (Ms. Roberts), however, has been viciously attacked by Mr Dershowitz.
“We have requested an opportunity to meet with the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Florida so that we can seek their assistance in presenting evidence (including evidence possessed by the government) that will help Jane Doe #3 respond to these unfair attacks.”
BBC royal correspondent Peter Hunt said Mr Dershowitz’s submission questions the woman’s credibility, and that would not harm Prince Andrew.
BBC legal correspondent Clive Coleman said there was no constitutional ban on the prince suing and it would not be unprecedented as other members of the Royal family had done so, but generally not for libel.
Two women, whose names have not been revealed but are referred to as Jane Doe #1 and Jane Doe #2, are suing the US government. They claim that it failed to protect their rights when it entered a plea deal with Epstein – who spent time in jail in 2008-9 for a sex offense with a minor. Virginia Roberts and a woman known as Jane Doe #4 – now want to join the case.
Documents filed in a Florida court last week allege that Ms Roberts was sexually trafficked by Epstein, who forced her to make herself available for sex to “politically connected and financially powerful people”.
OK, Fine.
