"Kim Davis Ordered to Pay $260,000 for Denying Same-Sex Marriage Licenses"

Kim Davis, the former Kentucky clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples due to her religious beliefs, has been ordered to pay over $260,000 in legal fees and expenses to a couple she denied a license to in 2015. This ruling comes after a jury awarded the couple $100,000 in damages. The case has been a significant one in the ongoing debate over religious freedom and LGBTQ rights. Despite the legal group representing Davis arguing for a reversal of the verdict due to "insufficient evidence," the judge deemed the fees reasonable for the couple's efforts to vindicate their right to marry.
