In 2014, not long after courts declared West Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, Samantha Brookover and Amanda Abramovich went to the Gilmer County courthouse to obtain their marriage certificate. But the clerk pulled a Kim Davis (even before Kim Davis) and flat-out refused to process their application.

So they waited. Months after the Supreme Court legalized marriage equality, they went back to the same courthouse — this time with their families — to get their certificate and celebrate with their loved ones.

They ran into the same clerk. And things didn’t go any better.

When we asked her for a marriage license, she began shouting at us that we are “an abomination.” She yelled that our desire to marry was wrong and that she believed that God would “deal” with us in time. We asked her to stop, and she told us that she has a religious right to talk this way to us.
