Kentucky governor: Issue same-sex marriage licenses

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear has told the state's county clerks to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples following a landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision.

Beshear sent a letter to all 120 county clerks telling them the Department of Libraries and Archives will send them a gender neutral form today along with instructions on how to use it. He told the clerks to consult with their county attorneys with specific questions, but said he knows they will respect the rule of law.

had SF clerks start issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples and the clerks said there was no problem, just needed to change the forms. After 11 years, millions of dollars, torrents of hate from the right--turns out that's the only bit of business needed. Changing the forms. Isn't that amazing? <3
