Resistance to gay marriages echoes 1960s battles in Kentucky
In a Frankfort courtroom the first test of the 2015 ruling on gay marriage unfolds as Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis and others resist issuing licenses. The piece traces Loving v Virginia, parallels to 1967 interracial marriage refusals, and notes activism by Lambda Legal and prominent clerks. It highlights cases, quotes scholars, and records a prayer gathering as Gov. Beshear demands licenses or resignation.

Jewish heroines honored as Polish rescuers at Warsaw event
In Warsaw, nearly 50 elderly Christian Poles who saved Jews in World War II were celebrated as heroes at a luncheon. The aged honorees, some in wheelchairs, were praised by Poland’s chief rabbi and an Israeli diplomat. Janusz Durko, a 100 year old rescuer, hid 20 Jews with his wife during the war. Maria Lopuszawska, 86, recalled rescuing a Jewish woman and thanked the Jewish Foundation for the Righteous for helping cover medications.
