For those of you who are residing in the US, I am pretty sure that you've caught wind of that certain Kentucky case: Like the title of this thread states, county clerk Kim Davis was put into prison after having refused to issue two same-sex people their marriage licenses (and two straight couples, too, for reasons I am unaware of) as this act strongly goes against her Christian beliefs. After five days of imprisonment, Kim Davis was released. She intends to continue her job despite repeated warnings that she is violating a court order.
This instance is pretty much a result of the fairly recent Supreme Court decision in the Obergefell v.Hodges case, in which the court declared marriage b/w same-sex people to be constitutional.
