Kim Davis broke down in tears, then
beamed as she stood before a cheering crowd after her release from jail
Tuesday.
The Kentucky clerk, who was held in
contempt of court for refusing to issue same-sex marriage licenses, urged her
supporters not to give in.
"Thank you all so much. I love you
all so very much," she said. "I just want to give God the glory. His
people have rallied, and you are a strong people. We serve a living God who
knows exactly where each and every one of us is at. Just keep on pressing.
Don't let down, because he is here. He's worthy."
Davis, who said issuing the licenses
would violate her conscience and go against her religion, plans to return to
work in Rowan County, Kentucky, this week and won't resign from her post,
attorney Mat Staver said. Asked by a reporter whether her stay in jail was
worth it, Davis smiled and nodded.
