Former Georgia cop lawyers up after resigning over gay marriage Facebook post: 'Unconstitutional violation'
Fox News
Lawyers for Georgia ex-cop Jacob Kersey have sent letters to the City of Port Wentworth and its police department alleging his constitutional rights were violated over a Facebook post.
Kersey quit the Port Wentworth Police Department last month after he was placed on paid administrative leave Jan. 4 upon refusing to remove a personal Facebook post he made regarding his Christian belief about marriage. "Perhaps the city is still hoping this will go away." Jon Brown is a writer for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to jon.brown@fox.com.
"God designed marriage," Kersey wrote in the post that was flagged by his superiors following an anonymous complaint, according to a Jan. 13 letter of notification he received. "Marriage refers to Christ and the church. That's why there's no such thing as homosexual marriage."
