💨 Abstract

Kim Davis, a Kentucky county clerk, gained worldwide attention in 2015 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs. Despite legal and court pressures, including a jail sentence, Davis remained defiant. She continues to fight in court to have the Supreme Court's 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage overturned. Davis's case has drawn support from conservative leaders and criticism from LGBTQ+ advocates.
