Kentucky clerk Kim Davis refuses to issue same-sex marriage licences and claims to be acting on ‘God’s authority’
A court clerk in Kentucky at the centre of a storm over gay marriage has been ordered before a judge – after defying a Supreme Court ruling and claiming she was acting under “God’s authority”.
A day after the Supreme Court refused to support her position, Kim Davis, a clerk in Rowan County, rejected requests for marriage licenses for two same-sex couples.
Ms Davis said she was not issuing licences and asked people to leave. Asked under whose authority she was refusing to issue them, she replied: “Under God’s authority.”
