"Jury Awards $100K in Damages to Kentucky Gay Couple Denied Marriage License"

A federal jury has awarded $100,000 to a Kentucky gay couple who sued former county clerk Kim Davis for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Davis, who gained international attention in 2015 when she was briefly jailed for contempt of court, based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman. Another couple who sued was awarded no damages. Davis plans to appeal the decision, with her lawyers aiming to take the case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
