The US Supreme Court has announced it is considering whether to hear a case that could threaten same-sex marriage across the country.

Justices will reportedly convene during a private meeting on 7 November to discuss whether to take on a legal challenge brought by former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis.

After a decade of litigation over her refusal to issue marriage licenses to any queer couples, Davis called on the Supreme Court in July to hear her case challenging a Court of Appeal’s decision, which argued Davis’ actions as county clerk were unconstitutional.
