Kim Davis must pay $100,000 to US same-sex couple she denied marriage license

Jury awards damages to David Ermold and David Moore, who sued former Kentucky county clerk over 2015 incident

A former Kentucky county clerk is being ordered to pay $100,000 to a local couple who sued the clerk after she refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.

Kim Davis, the former clerk of Rowan county in eastern Kentucky, rose to national prominence for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses in 2015, arguing that such actions violated her religious beliefs that marriage is between a man and a woman.
