You Stay Classy, Louisiana!

Louisiana Justice of the Peace Keith Bardwell refused to marry an interracial couple out of concern for their kids.

"I'm not a racist. I just don't believe in mixing the races that way," Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. "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."


See?! He's not racist, his bathrooms are INTEGRATED!!

This is one of the many reasons I don't feel free to roam around the U.S.

@twochicksnest - i was actually going to post another entry about how this should be used as another reason to have federally recognized same sex marriages. this is happening, despite having loving versus virginia explicitly stating the refusal is illegal! i still can't believe it.
