By rssfeeds-admin KENTUCKY (FOX 56) — A federal appeals court upheld a ruling on Thursday that a former Rowan County clerk owes a same-sex couple $100,000 after denying the pair a marriage license in 2015.
The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals reportedly overruled a request from Kim Davis to overturn the ruling.
Davis made headlines in 2015 when she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples despite the Supreme Court opinion that legalized same-sex marriage.
The appeals court also dismissed Davis’ claims of religious freedom, saying public officials can’t use their personal beliefs to violate the constitutional rights of others.
