Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis, of Kentucky, was ordered today by a federal judge to resume issuing marriage licenses - including to same-sex couples - despite her religious objection to same-sex marriage.
From Kentucky.com:
U.S. District Judge David Bunning granted a preliminary injunction against Davis that was requested by Rowan County couples who want marriage licenses. Davis has refused to issue marriage licenses in her county since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide in June.
Davis is bound by her duties as a public servant to obey the law, Bunning wrote.
"She is even free to believe that marriage is a union between one man and one woman, as many Americans do. However, her religious convictions cannot excuse her from performing the duties that she took an oath to perform as Rowan County clerk," Bunning wrote.
