A justice of the peace in northern Louisiana has refused to grant a marriage license to an interracial couple because he believes it would harm any children born of that relationship.
"I'm not a racist," Keith Bardwell, justice of the peace in the state's Tangihapoa Parish, told the Hammond, Louisiana, Daily Star. "I do ceremonies for black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the children."
The Louisiana chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is calling the justice's move "tragic and illegal."
