Kim Davis Ordered to Pay Over $360K for Denying Same-Sex Marriage Licenses
TL;DR Summary
Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, has been ordered to pay $260,000 in legal fees on top of $100,000 in damages for violating a couple's constitutional rights. This follows her 2015 jailing for defying the US Supreme Court's legalization of same-sex marriage due to her religious beliefs. Despite her legal team's argument against the fee amount, the judge upheld the payment as the couple successfully vindicated their right to marry.
