Kim Davis, the former county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses in Kentucky to same-sex couples, must pay a total of $260,104 in fees and expenses to attorneys who represented one couple, according to a federal judge’s ruling.

That is in addition to $100,000 in damages a jury said the former Rowan county clerk should pay the couple who sued.

Davis drew international attention when she was briefly jailed in 2015 over her refusal despite the US supreme court’s legalization of same-sex marriage. She based her refusal on her belief that marriage should only be between a man and a woman.

    Unfortunately I’m sure she’ll turn this into another fundraiser paid for by her fellow Christian fundamentalists.

    She already turned it into a lucrative career on the fascist misinformation circuit days after she first made national news, raking in probably millions of dollars since then.

    And yeah, I’m sure you’re right that this will serve as an additional income booster for her 😮‍💨
