I cannot believe that a justice of the peace, in South Louisiana, refused to issue a marriage license to an interracial couple.  What decade is he living in?  He says that it is out of concern for any children they may have because in his experience, most interracial marriages don’t last.  He claims he’s not racist, but what else would you call it.  If he is so concerned about marriages lasting, then he shouldn’t be issuing marriage licenses at all.  The color of a couple’s skin does not determine whether or not their marriage is going to last.

I’m sure this is not the first time he has denied a couple their license, but this is the first couple to speak out.  I know we all have our own opinions about interracial couples, but people love who they love.
