Gay couple makes bid to marry after defiant clerk ordered to jail

April Miller and Karen Roberts planned to return to the Rowan County Courthouse on Friday for the fifth time since June to ask for a marriage license.

Only this time, clerk Kim Davis will not be there to stop them.

Instead, she will be in jail, ordered there by a US federal judge who found her in contempt for refusing to follow his order that she issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
