The Family Research Council, a socially conservative Christian group that opposes same-sex marriage, secured Davis' spot in the House chamber at the U.S. Capitol.
Jim Obergefell, the lead plaintiff in a lawsuit that resulted in the recognition of the right to same-sex marriage in the United States, will attend the State of the Union as a guest of First Lady Michelle Obama.
This will not be the first high-profile event Davis will attend in Washington, D.C. Last year, she met privately with Pope Francis in the nation's capital last year.
