Supreme Court Considers Kim Davis's Challenge to Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

Supreme Court Considers Kim Davis's Challenge to Same-Sex Marriage Ruling

The highest court in the U.S., the Supreme Court, is thinking about reviewing an old case about same-sex marriage.

A few years ago, the Court made a rule saying that people of the same gender can marry.

But a clerk named Kim Davis didn't want to give marriage papers to these couples because of her religious beliefs.

She got in trouble and had to pay a lot of money.

Now, she's asking the Supreme Court to change their minds about the rule.

The Court will first decide if they want to even listen to her request.

Some judges might think the rule is good and should stay, while others might think it was wrong.

This is happening while a new president has made some changes affecting LGBTQ+ protections.
