8:50Now PlayingA group of three people who work at the Decatur County Clerk's office have decided that they are going to object to the SCOTUS ruling legalizing gay marriage by walking out of their jobs.

"Decatur County Clerk Gwen Pope — along with employees Sharon Bell and Mickey Butler — said their last day on the job will be on July 14, and that they are leaving because the Supreme Court’s decision to allow same-sex marriages clashes with their religious beliefs...
'It’s kind of sort of like you don’t want to draw attention to yourself for any reason,' Pope explained. 'That’s not why we’re doing this. Not doing it in any way to draw attention to us. It’s for the glory of God. He’s going to get all the glory.'
Pope said that none of the employees have new jobs lined up, but that 'I honestly believe God will take care of us.'"
