Bigoted ass hat to file lawsuit to stop Milwaukee County same-sex weddings

After 20 years together, teachers Kari George and Joan Fecteau brought their daughter and friends to witness their wedding. "I always wondered if this would be possible in our lifetimes," Fecteau said. "I wondered as I left work today, ‘Do I tell my families, do I share this news?’" George said.

As they got their license, activist Bob Braun approached. "We're filing a lawsuit against the people who are allowing you and telling them to stop doing it," Braun said. Braun came for paperwork to sue the county clerk and the county executive for issuing same-sex marriage licenses. "We believe the county violated our civil rights by issuing these marriages licenses. When we voted eight years ago, the law was one man, one woman," Braun said.

Braun doesn't want to wait for federal litigation. He will file suit Thursday asking a Milwaukee County judge to stop the weddings.
