MARYVILLE, Tennessee (AP) — A resolution asking God to have mercy on a Tennessee county for issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples apparently didn't have a prayer of being considered Tuesday. The resolution says Blount County must comply with the Supreme Court ruling by issuing and recognizing marriage licenses for same-sex couples. [...] the resolution asks state officials including the governor and attorney general to protect "natural marriage" from "lawless" court opinions and defend moral standards. Outside the courthouse, same-sex marriage supporters gathered on one side of the building and a handful of people carrying signs in support of the resolution stood on the other.
