Villagers for Trump to host lawyer tied to clerk who denied same-sex marriage licenses
A prominent attorney who once represented a former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples for religious reasons will speak to members of Villagers for Trump next month.
Matthew “Mat” Staver, who founded and serves as chairman of Liberty Counsel and is the former dean of Liberty University’s Law School, will speak at the Villagers for Trump Aug. 6 rally, which begins at 6:30 p.m. at Eisenhower Recreation Center.
Staver’s organization is an international non-profit litigation, education and policy group dedicated to advancing religious freedom, the sanctity of human life and preservation of the family. He also is the host and producer of daily radio programs “Faith and Freedom” and “Freedom’s Call” and is a frequent guest on international and national networks, cable television channels and radio shows.
Staver has authored 10 books, including “Faith & Freedom: A Complete Handbook for Defending Your Religious Rights” and “Eternal Vigilance: Knowing and Protecting Your Religious Freedom.” The former Seventh-day Adventist pastor who became a Southern Baptist also has published more than 230 legal opinions and has filed numerous briefs and argued in many federal and state courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
Staver has been the news recently while representing grandmother Sandra Merritt in a case in California involving Planned Parenthood. He also represented Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who in 2015 refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and lost a re-election bid in November 2018.
Staver earned a bachelor’s degree in theology from Southern Missionary College, a master’s degree in religion from Andrews University and a law degree from the University of Kentucky. He is a Young Earth creationist who denies Darwinian evolution and believes intelligent design should be taught in public schools.
