"Kim Davis Ordered to Pay Gay Couple $100,000 for Marriage License Denial"

Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who gained international attention for refusing to issue a marriage license to a gay couple in 2015, has been ordered by a federal jury to pay $100,000 to the couple. Davis, who spent five days in jail for contempt of court, must pay $50,000 each to David Ermold and David Moore. Another couple involved in a separate lawsuit against Davis was not awarded any money. Davis' lawyers plan to appeal the decision and take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court previously declined to hear Davis' appeal in 2020.
