Overview
- The justices rejected Davis’s petition without comment, issuing an unsigned order with no explanation.
- Obergefell v. Hodges continues to guarantee nationwide recognition and licensing of marriages for same-sex couples.
- The decision leaves standing roughly $360,000 in damages and attorneys’ fees owed by Davis to a couple she refused to license.
- LGBTQ+ advocates welcomed the result, with Human Rights Campaign’s Kelley Robinson saying “love won again.”
- Because certiorari was denied, no new precedent was set, leaving the door open for any future challenges to be evaluated from scratch.
