The US Supreme Court has set a date to consider whether it will hear a case challenging same-sex marriage.
Justices will reportedly convene during a private meeting on 7 November to discuss whether to take on a legal challenge brought by former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis.
In 2015, shortly after the Supreme Court recognized a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, Davis refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples on religious grounds.
After a decade of litigation over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to any queer couples, Davis called on the Supreme Court in July to hear her case challenging a Court of Appeal’s decision, which argued Davis’ actions as county clerk were unconstitutional.
If the Supreme Court decides to overturn its decision, states will then be allowed to discriminate against issuing marriage licenses to gay couples. I hope that won't happen.
