 With clerk Kim Davis in jail, half a dozen same-sex couples walked out of the Rowan County Courthouse on Friday elated to have marriage licenses in hand after tangling with the Apostolic clerk for months. 
  
 April Miller, a 54-year-old professor at Morehead State University, raised the form over her head when she emerged with her longtime partner, Karen Roberts, and shouted “we got it” to the roar of supporters demonstrating on the courthouse lawn. 
  
 Surrounded by media cameras, James Yates and William Smith Jr. leaned into a long, tearful embrace after their sixth attempt to obtain the paperwork proved successful, even as Davis’ legal team asserted that they were invalid. The crowd chanted “love has won” as the couple hugged Yates’ parents outside. 
  
 “This means, at least for this area, that civil rights are civil rights,” Yates said. 
  
 But the licenses also brought derision, including from one religious protester who called out “perverts” as Tim and Michael Long applied for the papers. The couple held a commitment ceremony in 2008 and changed their names but were denied the ability to legally marry. 
  
 Tim Long said the day carried great significance, and he felt “like we are accepted, like everyone else.” He said he was sorry that Davis is in jail “but she done it to herself.” 
  
 “We waited for years and years and years,” Long said. “I just thought it would never happen.” 
  
 It came a day after Davis was jailed for contempt by a federal judge and remained there after refusing a deal that would have allowed her to avoid incarceration while her office issued licenses. 
  
 Most of her deputies had agreed to issue the licenses Friday at the Morehead courthouse, which opened at 8 a.m. and had already drawn 100 demonstrators on both sides of the issue as well as dozens of media outlets from around the country. 
  
 Among those at the courthouse was Kim Davis’ husband, Joe Davis, who called U.S. District Judge David Bunning a bully for jailing his wife. He said she was in good spirits, has no intention of resigning and is prepared for months in jail. 
  
 Later in the day, Liberty Counsel, the group representing Davis, said at a news conference outside the Carter County Jail that the licenses issued Friday were “not worth the paper they are written on” because Davis has refused to provide them with her name. While she locked up inside the jail, she still has a free conscience, they said. 
  
 At the courthouse, deputy clerk Brian Mason, who issued licenses to six same-sex couples and two heterosexual couples before the office closed at 6 p.m., said he wasn’t certain if the forms, which did not bear Davis' name, were valid. 
  
 “I can’t guarantee nothing,” he said. 
  
 But those who got licenses were confident they would be honored. 
  
 As couples arrived at the courthouse Friday, about 10 police officers were keeping the two groups of demonstrators apart as emotions again ran high. 
  
 Some of the ire of Davis' supporters was directed toward Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, who has declined to call a special session to rewrite state law on marriage certificates, and his son Andy Beshear, who is running for attorney general. Davis’ supporters said a rally is planned at 11 a.m. Saturday outside the jail. Some criticized the deputy clerks for agreeing to issue the licenses. 
  
 “I think everybody in that office should have stood behind Kim Davis,” said Penny Stinnett, who accused the deputy clerks of backing down and selling “out their salvation.” 
  
 On the other side, Marsha Moore-Charles, pastor of Bluegrass United Church of Christ, said that while new civil rights are often slow to be accepted by some, the “onslaught of bigotry and prejudice” that has followed the Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage has been “heartbreaking.” 
  
 Some said they hoped Friday’s events marked a turning point. Morehead resident Jerry Calvert, who wore a “Make cornbread, not war” T-shirt, called it a “good day,” saying “it’s about everybody being OK, living together.” 
  
 Others, however, said the battle over gay marriage likely wouldn’t be over anytime soon. Indeed, Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee was reportedly planning to visit Davis next Tuesday during a rally of supporters outside the jail. He has called her jailing “the criminalization of Christianity.”

 GRAYSON, Ky. (AP) — Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis will spend Labor Day weekend in isolation at the Carter County Detention Center with her Bible and her clear conscience. 
  
 At least three same-sex couples will spend the weekend planning weddings after finally receiving the marriage licenses they asked for months ago but were denied because Davis believes gay marriage is a sin. 
  
 The Rowan County Clerk's office issued the licenses to same-sex couples on Friday under threat of jail time or fines if they didn't comply with a federal judge's order. While the licenses were freely given, the drama surrounding the clerk does not appear to be ending anytime soon. Davis met with her attorneys in jail Friday and told them she would "never violate her conscience or betray her God." 
  
 U.S. District Judge David Bunning has said he will not release Davis unless she agrees to obey his order. Davis' attorneys said the only way she would relent would be to change Kentucky's state law so that marriage licenses are not issued under the authority of the county clerk. They claim the licenses that were issued were not valid. 
  
 The state legislature will not meet again until January. Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear has refused to call a special session, arguing it would waste taxpayer money to bring the legislature back on an issue that so far only affects one elected official. That means Davis could potentially be in jail for months until the state legislature has a chance to change the law early next year. 
  
 Davis' supporters are not backing down. They planned a "Free Kim Davis" rally in front of the jail on Saturday and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee said he planned to meet with Davis on Tuesday. 
  
 Kim Davis' husband, Joe, said his wife will stay in jail how "ever how long it takes," noting that she has held a Bible study at the Rowan County Detention Center every Monday night for the past few years. 
  
 "She's not going to resign, she's not going to sacrifice her conscience, so she's doing what Martin Luther King Jr. wrote about in his Letter from the Birmingham Jail, which is to pay the consequences for her decision," said Mat Staver, one of Davis' attorneys and founder of the Florida-based legal group Liberty Counsel. 
  
 Davis' attorneys said the licenses issued Friday are not "worth the paper they are written on" because Davis did not authorize them. But attorneys for the gay couples who sued her along with the elected Rowan County attorney said the licenses were valid. U.S. District Judge David Bunning said he did not know if the licenses were valid but ordered them issued anyway. 
  
 Gay couples who arrived at the Rowan County Courthouse on Friday said they were sad that Davis was in jail. But they were determined not to let her ruin their celebrations. 
  
 James Yates and William Smith were the first couple through the door, pushing through a thick scrum of cameras and microphones to pay $35.50 for a marriage license. They embraced through tears once the deputy clerk, Brian Mason, handed the form back to them and told them "congratulations." Yates, with Smith clutching his arm, dashed across the courtyard to hug his mother. 
  
 "Civil rights are civil rights and they are not subject to belief," said Yates, who had been denied a license five times previously. 
  
 Dozens of protesters on both sides filled the courtyard with sound systems and signs, and a few even made their way inside to heckle gay couples. Timothy and Michael Long did not respond when a man wearing a white dress shirt and a black tie called them perverts as they were filling out their license. The couple had a commitment ceremony seven years ago but wanted to make their marriage official. 
  
 April Miller and Karen Roberts, the lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit that landed Davis behind bars, got their license around midday. Miller emerged in the bright sunshine holding her license above her head while Roberts let out a joyous whoop as supporters cheered. 
  
 "Now we can breathe. I'm still ecstatic and happy. I just can't wait to get married now," Roberts said. ||||| Buy Photo Supporters of Kim Davis chant in support of the Rowan County clerk after Davis denied marriage licenses to two same sex couples Tuesday morning.

 Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis is reading the Bible in her jail cell and sleeping with a clear conscience, the head of her legal team said Friday after speaking with her at the Carter County Detention Center. 
  
 Mat Staver, founder and chairman of the Liberty Counsel, said the clerk has remained in good spirits and told attorneys that “all is well” despite the federal contempt charge that resulted in her arrest Thursday. 
  
 “She will never violate her conscience and never betray her God,” he said. “She is prepared for the consequences ... and that’s why she is here.” 
  
 U.S. District Judge David Bunning ordered Davis into federal custody Thursday when she twice refused to heed a preliminary injunction requiring her to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. 
  
 But Staver on Friday called the hearing "a charade" and said he expects her to remain behind bars at least into next week. He described her as a woman of “incredible resilience and incredible faith” who has no intention of resigning. 
  
 Davis’ lawyers are appealing the contempt ruling to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and plan to file writs of habeas corpus in efforts to free her from jail. 
  
 “We will not allow her to just continually sit here and have her constitutional rights violated and her conscience trampled by what happened yesterday,” Staver said, citing the First Amendment and Kentucky’s Religious Freedom Act. 
  
 Although deputy clerks in her office issued marriage forms to multiple couples Friday, Davis continues to withhold her authority. And Staver argues that any licenses granted Friday are “not worth the paper they are written on” because they lack her say-so. 
  
 Staver said Davis still has a deep respect for her deputies, who are providing forms over her direction. She understands that they were threatened with arrest and has no animosity toward them, he said. 
  
 Staver also repeated criticism of Gov. Steve Beshear, who has declined to call a special session for rewriting state marriage law. Supporters of Davis contend that her beliefs could be accommodated through changes to the forms and state statute. Davis has asked lawmakers for the changes since January. 
  
 Demonstrators plan to rally for Davis outside the detention center at 3 p.m. Tuesday, reportedly with an appearance from GOP presidential candidate Mike Huckabee. 
  
 A separate event — “The Kim Davis Jailhouse Prayer Rally” — is scheduled for 11 a.m. Saturday at the center. A flier circulated Friday urges officials to “free Kim Davis — Kentucky hero” and calls for Bunning's impeachment. 
  
 Staver said the Liberty Counsel has been contacted by other clerks in Kentucky but that lawyers haven’t talked to them since Thursday’s hearing. Two others are denying licenses in Casey and Whitley counties.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis' husband yesterday said of his jailed wife, "Until something gives, she'll be there." The AP today sheds some light on just how long that could be. US District Judge David Bunning has said he will keep Davis in jail until she agrees to issue marriage licenses to gay couples. Her attorneys say there's only one way she'd cave: if Kentucky state law is changed so that marriage licenses aren't given out under the county clerk's authority. But the state legislature isn't scheduled to meet until January, and Democratic Gov. Steve Beshear says he will not call a special session, which he views as a misuse of taxpayer dollars as the issue impacts just one elected official. That means Davis could potentially be in jail for months, though the Courier-Journal has this to say on her legal strategy: Her lawyers "are appealing the contempt ruling to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals and plan to file writs of habeas corpus in efforts to free her." Her attorneys also suggest it's more than just Davis being affected: They yesterday said the marriage licenses issued yesterday (six to gay couples and two to straight couples) aren't "worth the paper they are written on" since they weren't authorized by Davis, reports the Courier-Journal. Bunning himself actually said that he didn't know if the licenses are valid. Meanwhile, her supporters are pushing for a quicker resolution: They'll hold a "Free Kim Davis" rally outside the jail today; on Tuesday she's due to get a visit from Mike Huckabee.
