Attorneys for a former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples should have to pay $21,675 for pursuing frivolous appeals, a lawyer for one couple has argued.
Lexington attorney Michael J. Gartland filed a motion Thursday seeking the payment as a sanction against attorneys for Kim Davis, the former Rowan County clerk.
Davis received international attention in 2015 when she cited her religious opposition to same-sex marriage in refusing to issue licenses to gay couples, even though the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled same-sex marriage legal.
Couples she refused to give licenses sued her in federal court in 2015. The case is still pending because of appeals on several issues.
