Kim Davis Ordered to Pay $100K to Gay Couple for Denying Marriage License

A federal jury in Kentucky has awarded $100,000 to a gay couple, David Moore and David Ermold, who sued former county clerk Kim Davis for denying them a marriage license in 2015 due to their sexual orientation. Davis, who spent five days in jail for contempt of court, refused to issue licenses to two couples based on her personal belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. The jury awarded $50,000 per person to Moore and Ermold, while the second couple received no damages. Davis' lawyers plan to appeal the decision and take the case to the Supreme Court.
