Here is what happens if choosing your marriage partner isn't a "civil
right".
Civil rights advocates in eastern Louisiana are calling for a justice
of the peace of Tangipahoa Parish to resign after he refused to issue
a marriage license to an interracial couple.
However, Bardwell told Hammond's Daily Star newspaper that he was
concerned for the children who might be born of the relationship and
that, in his experience, most interracial marriages don't last.
"I'm not a racist," Bardwell told the newspaper. "I do ceremonies for
black couples right here in my house. My main concern is for the
children."
Bardwell, stressing that he couldn't personally endorse the marriage,
said his wife referred the couple to another justice of the peace.
