Clerk Sought God on Marriage Licenses In 2015, A court case involving County Clerk Kate Davis, after refusal to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples citing it to be against her religious beliefs, and the American Civil Liberties Union representing two same-sex couples and two opposite-sex couples that objected to Davis' actions. Ultimately, this case resulted in the Judge siding with providing licenses to same-sex couples. The core conflict here was between Davis' personal religious and moral beliefs versus her professional obligations at her job. If she was wholly committed to her profession, she must ignore her moral beliefs and fulfill her duties at the job. Because of this, purely from the perspective of the profession she has failed. While her religious derived objections are wholly valid and should be considered in her personal life, when assuming the position of her elected position should not directly involve that, which aligns with what the court case was similarly decided upon. Her decision to step down from the position, despite being a difficult and potentially dangerous one, is most likely to both allow her to exercise her religious beliefs and allow the position as County Clerk operate the most optimally.
