Last week--last week!!--Keith Bardwell, a justice of the peace in Louisiana's Tangipahoa Parish who has held that position for 34 years, refused to issue a marriage license to Beth Humphrey and Terence McKay. Says Bardwell: "I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way. I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else." (Uh, no you don't). He's just looking out for the children of interracial marriages who "suffer and I won't help put them through it." (Isn't the President . . . never mind.)
An interview with Ms. Humphrey is available here.
