LOUISVILLE – Today, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) released the following statement in response to U.S. District Court Judge John Heyburn’s ruling striking down Kentucky’s ban on same-sex marriage:

“Judge Heyburn’s ruling striking down Kentucky’s marriage ban affirms once again that there is no government interest in discrimination against same-sex couples. I am proud our Commonwealth has joined the growing list of states recognizing that the right to marry applies to all citizens.”
