Kentucky County Clerk Kim Davis Defies Judge, Won’t Issue Gay Marraige Licenses On Religious Freedom Grounds

Davis steadfastly defied an order by a federal judge who previously dismissed her religious freedom argument to justify opting out opting out of the gay marriage license process.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis turned away same-sex couple David Moore and David Ermold when they applied for a Kentucky marriage license several hours after the judge mandated compliance with the controversial law.
