Funny statement of the day

Just bumped into this:

Gov. Steve Beshear's administration is arguing in a brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court that Kentucky's ban on gay marriage isn't discriminatory because it bars both gay and straight people from same-sex unions.

I roared laughing. He actually said those words, in the presence of others!

Justice in a tiny town

Vicco, KY, with a population of 335 people, just voted to ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. There's a pretty cool story about it in the NYT. I mean, this is a bunch of coal-miner types who voted for fairness. How could you not love a story like that?
