Political Factoid

When the Supreme Court
legalized interracial marriage
five decades ago,
... some local officials
in the South put up
resistance to issuing
marriage licenses.
Not much has changed since then.
Many southern clerks still oppose
marriages by certain groups
people, claiming religious
freedom to restrict someone
else's freedom to do something
e.g., marry the person they
love.
