Laura already
broke the news about Kentucky's marriage equality ban getting struck down, but let's take a minute to appreciate that U.S. District Judge John Heyburn may have delivered the most epic takedown of an anti-gay marriage argument ever:
These arguments are not those of serious people. Though it seems almost unnecessary to explain, here are the reasons why. Even assuming the state has a legitimate interest in promoting procreation, the Court fails to see, and Defendant never explains, how the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage has any effect whatsoever on procreation among heterosexual spouses. Excluding same-sex couples from marriage does not change the number of heterosexual couples who choose to get married, the number who choose to have children, or the number of children they have.
Lots more good stuff like that is in the full decision, which you can read
here. (h/t

Your move, homophobes.
