In a Morehead Kentucky, one couple, Mr. Ermold and Mr. Moore, were denied a marriage license by Ms. Davis. A statement of Mrs. Davis was released by her lawyers saying, "to issue a marriage license which conflicts with God's definition of marriage, with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience... I have no animosity toward anyone and harbor no ill will. To me this has never been a gay or lesbian issue. It is about marriage and God;s word." Some are arguing that Ms. Davis is only acting on her First Amendment rights, others are arguing that it is her job as a clerk in a county government office, to issue license.
