The Kentucky clerk who denied a marriage license to gay couples and was denied her initial appeal to the District Court, to set aside a jury verdict against her that awarded the gay couple $100,000.00, plus an award of attorney’s fees which totaled more that $260,000.00.
The clerk has now appealed to the United States Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Included in her appeal, is the proposition that the Supreme Court decision in Obergefel (2015 Court Ruling Securing the Rights of Same Sex Marriages Nationally), should be overturned.
This article details the basis of her arguments based on her religious grounds.
