Crowds are assembled outside the Ashland County Courthouse awaiting Rowan County, Kentucky clerk Kim Davis, who has a hearing before U.S. District Judge David Bunning. Bunning will review a motion asking that Davis be held in contempt for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples in defiance of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Check out a LIVE FEED HERE.
The hearing is scheduled for 11 am. Protesters on both sides of the issue are already outside the courthouse.
Anti-gay protesters are carrying signs that say “Got AIDS Yet? Jesus Saves” and other unsavory slogans.
