The Louisiana Justice of the Peace who refused to marry an interracial couple has resigned.  Keith Bardwell refused to perform the honors when Terrence McKay and Beth Humphrey got hitched.

Another justice of the peace eventually married the couple.

 

Humphrey and McKay have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit against Bardwell.
