Kim Davis Ordered To Pay Over $260,000 After Denying Same-Sex Couple a Marriage License
thenewcivilrightsmovement.comFormer Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, the pentecostal evangelical Christian who made international headlines in 2015, has now been ordered to pay a total of more than $360,000 after refusing to issue a marriage license to a local same-sex couple that year, ignoring the U.S.
Supreme Court’s ruling in support of marriage equality. Davis, who once told supporters she is a “soldier for Christ,” was ordered by U.S.
District Judge David L. Bunning on Tuesday to pay attorneys of the couple $260,104 in fees and expenses, the Lexington Herald-Leader reports.
She previously was ordered by a jury to pay the couple, David Ermold and David Moore, a total of $100,000 in damages. In March of 2022 a federal judge found Davis had violated the couple’s constitutional rights.
