Supreme Court Declined to Hear an Appeal to Overturn Its Decision on Same-Sex Marriage

HeadlineNov 11, 2025

The Supreme Court rejected to hear an appeal on Monday to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage. The justices turned away an appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples after the court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Human Rights Campaign President Kelley Robinson praised the decision, saying, “The Supreme Court made clear today that refusing to respect the constitutional rights of others does not come without consequences.”
