MARYVILLE, Tenn. (Reuters) - A Tennessee county commission on Tuesday turned down voting on a resolution asking God to spare the county from divine wrath sparked by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling legalizing gay marriage.

"I was totally in the dark," she told reporters. Miller said she was "very disappointed, because people have a right to speak."
