FRANKFORT, Ky., March 4 (UPI) -- Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway announced Tuesday he will not appeal an order that the state allow same-sex marriage.
Gov. Steve Beshear, a Republican, immediately announced an outside lawyer will handle the appeal, the (Louisville) Courier-Journal reported. Beshear's office sent out an email soon after Conway, a Democrat, appearing close to tears, said he could not defend discrimination and that U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II "got it right."
