U.S. SUPREME COURT TURNS DOWN AN APPEAL BY OFFICIAL WHO HELD BACK GAY-MARRIAGE LICENSES

Highlights

• Two Supreme Court judges have rebuffed an appeal from Kim Davis, who had garnered national attention by holding back all marriage licenses in Rowan County post the Supreme Court's iconic Obergefell vs. Hodges decision

• The reason cited by Kim Davis for halting those marriage licenses was that putting her name on same-sex marriage licenses would have violated her deeply-held religious beliefs
