⁠
The oral arguments focused on the question of whether Davis should pay $100,000 to David Ermold and David Moore for denying their marriage license a decade ago.⁠
⁠
After the hearing, Davis’ lawyer, Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver, told the Lantern that his team’s goal is for the appeal to reach the U.S. Supreme Court. The case would provide the justices an opportunity to re-evaluate the decision that guaranteed gay couples equal marriage rights on the same grounds that the court in 2022 used to overturn the federal right to abortion, Staver said.⁠
⁠
Obergefell v. Hodges, the 2015 decision that guaranteed same-sex couples marriage rights, is “on the same shifting sand” that doomed Roe v. Wade, said Staver.

The nonprofit works to combat food injustice by collecting leftover or otherwise to-be-thrown-out ingredients from local restaurants and retailers, repurposing them into complete meals and dispersing them across the community via partner organizations. When the organization first started during the pandemic, it worked only with restaurants that found themselves with an excess of ingredients at the end of the day. Now, Feed Louisville partners with even more restaurants in addition to Dare to Care Food Bank, major grocery stores and more.

At that time, I literally needed a drag house. You know, a lot of times people talk about drag families. I don’t think they really know what a drag family is these days; because those days your drag mom was literally your MOM. It would be someone [who could tell] you to “shut up, sit down and behave” as she would say. And you would.⁠
⁠
My current drag mom, Jessica Dimon, was like… my auntie. I was whirling and twirling and just chaotic and Nomi was the only one who could keep me at bay. Thank god she did. I had lots of people like Penny [Tration,] Leah Halston and Dee Ranged — oh my god.⁠
⁠
They literally changed my perspective on what performing and drag could be like- absolutely incredible! I remember my first ever true drag show I saw was at the Dock Complex in Cinci and the first queen I saw on the stage was Mirage Love and she did Sweet Dreams by Beyonce in this Chinese nightgown, midnight blue and she had chopsticks throughout her hair- like fifty of them — and it was the most mesmerizing, incredible moment of my life. I thought,
