Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, hauled to jail for defying a
series of federal court orders and refusing to issue marriage licenses to
same-sex couples. Davis refused to issue licenses to Gay.
Davis stopped issuing licenses altogether. Four couples sued
Davis, elected clerk as a Democrat, and she filed a counter-suit against
Beshear, also a Democrat, alleging that his refusal to exempt religious clerks
from authorizing same-sex marriage violated her right to religious freedom.
Meanwhile, Davis continued to refuse court orders and U.S.
District Judge David Bunning found her in contempt earlier this month and
ordered her to jail for five days, propelling her to folk hero status among
some on the religious right. Davis made the rounds on television news shows
this week, pledging to continue her fight against gay marriage
