The county in Pennsylvania recently ordered to stop issuing marriage licences to same-sex couples has said it will file an appeal against the judge's decision.
Tony Perkins of the anti-gay Family Research Council, has voiced his disapproval at the Pentagon's announcement that gay couples will be allowed leave to marry, if they live a certain distance from a state which legally recognises same-sex marriage.
A human rights group has called for the sacking of anti-gay writer Orson Scott Card, from his new position as a board member at a US university's public television channel, after he compared President Obama to Adolf Hitler.
