Kentucky Clerk Defies Court on Marriage Licenses for Gay Couples. (The New York Times, 8/13/2015)
Kim Davis, the clerk in Rowan County, who says her Christian faith bars her from authorizing same-sex marriages, has refused to issue any licenses, either to same-sex or heterosexual couples after the historic ruling in June in the case of Obergefell v. Hodges. She has ignored a direct order from Gov. Steven L. Beshear that she do so.
Unlike numerous other eastern Kentucky counties, Rowan County's population is currently at its peak.
Barack Obama received a higher percentage of the vote in Rowan County (45%) than he did statewide (38%) in the 2012 Presidential election.
