Following her release from jail, a smiling Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis thanked everyone in attendance for providing her with bounds of love and support.

“Thank you all so much. I love you all so very much,” Davis began. “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."

"I love you guys," she said. "Thank you so much.”

Davis remains quiet about whether she will comply with the court order that allowed for her release.

Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis was arrested on Sept. 3 for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples since the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage two months ago. She argued that her Christian faith and religious freedom should exempt her from having to do so. 

Republican presidential candidate and former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee says that, if Davis should face further legal troubles for standing up for her religious beliefs, he would happily “go to jail in her place.”
