Kentucky Marriage Ban Unconstitutional, Ruling Stayed

Patience, good people of Kentucky, it will come.The Courier-Journal reports that the Kentucky bans on same-sex marriage have been struck down, however, the ruling has been stayed pending appeal.  US District Judge John G. Heyburn II has ruled that Kentucky's constitutional and statutory bans on some-sex marriage violate the US Constitution. The judge wrote that

In America, even sincere and long-hold religious beliefs do not trump the constitutional rights of those who happen to have been out-voted.

 The state had produced one of the flimsy justifications given for bans on same-sex marriage, but the judge said that

no rational relation between the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage and the commonwealth's asserted interest in promoting naturally procreative marriages.

and that

These arguments are not those of serious people.
