After the Supreme Court’s controversial Obergefell v. Hodges ruling that forced all 50 states to recognize unions between members of the same sex as marriages, Davis declared that she would cease issuing marriage licenses, arguing that her required signature on the documents would constitute a personal endorsement of homosexual unions that violated her Christian beliefs.
Her resistance to the new normal has persisted for years despite public pressure from lawsuits, judges, and politicians alike. Last year, she was ordered to pay $100,000 to a same-sex couple to whom she refused to issue a marriage license on top of damages awarded to other plaintiffs. The nonprofit Liberty Counsel vowed to appeal on her behalf.
This May, Liberty Counsel filed its notice of appeal with the Sixth Circuit, arguing Davis was not liable for damages to anyone and touting the case’s “potential to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges and extend the same religious freedom protections beyond Kentucky to the entire nation,” calling the move the beginning of a “march to the Supreme Court.”
