'Anti-gay marriage' clerk ordered freed

September 08, 2015 23:57

A Kentucky clerk who was jailed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples can now go free, a judge said Tuesday -- albeit with a caveat she may not be willing to accept.

US District Judge David Bunning ordered that Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis be released from jail Tuesday -- five days after he sent her there -- on the grounds that her deputies issued marriage licenses to same-sex couples in her absence.

But Bunning's new order says Davis, once free, still cannot interfere with her deputies issuing marriage licenses to all legally eligible couples.

It wasn't immediately clear how Davis would react to the order, but she has said she will not authorize her office to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples if her name remains on the certificate.
