Supreme Court rejects appeal to overturn same-sex marriage ruling
Share this @internewscast.com


The Supreme Court has decided not to revisit its landmark 2015 decision that legalized same-sex marriage across the United States.

This decision stems from an appeal by Kim Davis, a former county clerk in Kentucky, who made headlines in 2015 for her refusal to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious convictions.

Davis spent five days in jail for her actions. The couple involved eventually received their marriage license and subsequently won a lawsuit against Davis, which resulted in $100,000 for emotional distress and $260,000 to cover attorneys’ fees, according to The Hill.

In her appeal, Davis sought a review of a lower court ruling and aimed to overturn the Supreme Court’s decision in the Obergefell v. Hodges case.

On Monday, the Supreme Court declined to hear Davis’s appeal as it considered numerous other petitions.
