Same-Sex Couple Awarded $100K in Damages From Kentucky Clerk Who Refused Marriage License

Kim Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in 2015 based on her religious beliefs against gay marriage.
Davis was briefly jailed for contempt of court before agreeing to let her staff issue licenses without her name.
A federal jury awarded one couple denied a license $50K each in damages while another couple received nothing.
Davis violated the constitutional rights of couples according to a prior ruling she is appealing up to the Supreme Court.
The case gained national attention amid debates over same-sex marriage rights in the U.S.
