Update on that Louisiana JP who refused to marry an interracial couple - he's resigned. Plus, they're taking him to court. If there are other petty dictators in public office round the nation, I hope they're taking note.

(You always hope a story like this is a freak event. But something Aboriginal activist Sam Watson said recently got me thinking - he described racism in Australia as "endemic". That makes it like measles or something - it's always around, even when there's no visible rash.)

That's good to hear. In the Netherlands some JPs refuse to marry gay couples without consequences. Which reminds me... my partner and me got married in Norway and our Norwegian was too poor, and likewise the poor man's English. He had a hard time reading the ceremonial text from a sheet of paper and continually said something that sounded a lot like 'loath' instead of 'love' :D
