Conway Explains Gay Marriage Decision


Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway (D) explained to the Huffington Post why he refused to defend Kentucky's gay marriage ban.

Said Conway: "I felt like that from a fiscal responsibility standpoint, I didn't need to be wasting taxpayer resources in a lawsuit that we weren't going to win or in an appeal that we weren't going to win. For the sake of my daughter's view on my public service in the future, I wanted to be on the right side of history."

And his political career will probably come to an end too soon because of it. I am so tired of Kentucky bowing down to the religious fanatics. Sickening.
