A federal judge on Thursday ordered Kentucky officials to recognize the marriages of same-sex couples performed out of state.
U.S. District Court Judge John Heyburn ruled that Kentucky's Constitution and laws banning recognition of such marriages "violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, and they are void and unenforceable."
I wonder if this will get Alison Grimes to make a meaningful comment on same-sex marriage. So far, she's avoided it, making silly statements like, "I love my husband and I support marriage".

The irony of a judge forcing people to recognize same sex marriage, as all people are equal according to the consitituion, next to a thread of cheering for a judge forcing school prayer, in volation of the first amendment...is astounding.

No person is forced to recognize anything, but the STATE is required to recognize these marriages.
