Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis ordered to pay legal fees for gay couples
Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, who in 2015 drew headlines for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, was ordered last week by the state’s governor to pay for the legal fees of the gay couples who sued.
Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevins (R) initially supported Davis when he ran for governor four years ago, but is now demanding she pay more than $222,000 in legal fees for the couples involved, whose licenses she denied due to her opposition to gay marriage. Bevin said taxpayers “should not have to collectively bear the financial responsibility for Davis’s intransigence.”
