This blog is a reply to Keith Bardwell's decision to deny a marriage license to an interracial couple out of concern for the future children they might have. On Dec. 16, 2009, we sent him a colorful Christmas card to show him that mixed-race people, families and couples are happy, well-adjusted people. We are keeping it going!
