Kim Davis is adamant in her opposition to same-sex marriage that she denied her very own friends marriage licenses.

The Kentucky clerk was thrust under the national spotlight for refusing to issue marriage licenses for gay and lesbian couples. Davis maintained that it was not an issue of homophobia, but rather an unwillingness to compromise her religious principles.

"I have friends who are gay and lesbians. They know where I stand," said Davis in an interview with ABC's Good Morning America on Tuesday. "We don't agree on this issue and we're OK because we respect each other."

When asked if she would deny these friends marriage licenses as well, Davis said that she already had.

Davis grew emotional at points of the interview, saying that she hasn't always been a good person, but that has changed. Many have accused Davis of being hypocritical, as she herself has been married four times and has had children through an adulterous relationship.

Davis dismissed her past actions. "I am forgiven. Washed clean," she said.

Thus far, none of Davis' aforementioned friends have come forward to verify her story. The Daily Beast interviewed several sources in an attempt to find out more, including an ex-husband and two of the couples denied licenses, none of who had any idea to the truth of Davis' statement.

One woman, Carmen Wampler-Collins, doesn't doubt Davis' claims however.

"I grew up in Morehead and it's fairly common to have people in your life say they love you and still hold deep opposition to you being in a same-sex relationship," Wampler-Collins said to The Daily Beast. "It's a small town and many people just feel it's best to get along and not make waves even if they face discrimination."

Although Davis has been released from jail, the clerk said she is prepared to go back if forced to do so. "I can't put my name on a license that doesn't represent what God ordained marriage to be," she said.
