Kentucky Clerk Refuses To Issue Marriage License To Gay Couples In Heated Exchange

A Kentucky county clerk on Tuesday refused to issue marriage licenses for two same-sex couples despite a Supreme Court ruling ordering the clerk to do so.

A video posted to Facebook by WKYT shows the gay couples repeatedly demanding that the clerk, Kim Davis, issue them marriage licenses.

"We are not issuing marriage licenses today," Davis says in the video.

"Under whose authority are you not issuing licenses?" asks one of the men.

"Under God's authority," Davis responds.

The Rowan County clerk then asks the men to leave, before retreating to the back of the office herself.
