In Kentucky yet, eh?
A federal jury has awarded $100,000 to a Kentucky couple who sued former Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis after she refused to grant them a marriage license.
David Ermold and David Moore were each awarded $50,000 Wednesday in a 2015 case brought against Davis, who spent five days in jail the same year for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis had argued that granting the marriage licenses would violate “God’s definition of marriage” as well as her religious beliefs as a Christian.
She was released after her staff agreed to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on her behalf. Same-sex couples won the right to marry in 2015 following the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges.
Michael Gartland, an attorney for Ermold and Moore, told The Hill that “the plaintiffs and their counsel could not be more pleased with the jury’s verdict” in their case against Davis. ….
