Professor Krotoszynski Weighs in on Marriage License Case in Kentucky

September 4, 2015

Professor Ronald Krotoszynski Jr. recently told The New York Times and “Background Briefing with Ian Masters” same-sex couples in Kentucky who have been denied marriage licenses will ultimately receive them.

The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to allow a county clerk in Kentucky who objects to same-sex marriage on religious grounds to continue to deny marriage licenses to all couples, gay or straight.

“There’s no doubt about how this saga comes to an end,” said Krotoszynski, a constitutional law expert who has followed same-sex marriage cases. “The couples in Rowan County who seek marriage licenses will have them.”
