The backlash against Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis has grown after the Kentucky official continued to refuse marriage licenses to same-sex couples despite a direct order from the Supreme Court to do so.

After her continued refusal to issue licenses to same-sex couples despite the landmark SCOTUS ruling back in June which legalized same-sex marriage across the United States, Davis was told to start issuing the licenses today. However, two same-sex couples who arrived at her office were turned away because of her religious beliefs.

Since her continued refusal-which was caught on video with her saying she was doing so under 'God's authority'--many have reacted on social media, criticizing her for the act, as well as her own marriage record, which has reportedly seen her married four different times.

Many have also taken to social media to make jokes about Davis and compare her to the kinds of people they hated running into on a daily basis, comparing her to Lifetime movies, and criticizing her saying she is denying licenses on God's authority:


For right now, it appears she is still refusing the licenses, and is scheduled for a contempt of court hearing on Thursday.
