Kim Davis, the former Kentucky county clerk who refused to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples in 2015, has petitioned the United States Supreme Court to overturn the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges ruling. The filing, submitted in early August 2025, argues that the decision legalising gay marriage nationwide was unconstitutional and violates her rights to religious freedom and free speech. The case has revived a fierce legal and political debate over marriage equality in America.
