Gay people are too responsible to be allowed to marry

[missmurchison]

That's the stand of the U.S. House of Representatives, according to the legal brief they provided to the Supreme Court.

Marriage should be limited to unions of a man and a woman because they alone can "produce unplanned and unintended offspring," opponents of gay marriage have told the Supreme Court...

Conservative attorneys did not argue that gays

So... het couples need marriage because they're irresponsible breeders? (Because of course birth control is a no-no!) Any pretense of making sense has left the building.

They couldn't have come up with a worse argument if they'd decided to deliberately sabotage their case.

I was about to say, I have a slight suspicion that someone may be throwing the game...

On the other hand, you should never attribute to guile what can be explained by stupidity.

I cannot believe the stupidity......oh wait! I just realized it's from the house of representatives.....

They're able to rig the election process so they get control of the House, but can't figure out how to run the place once they're in charge.

They must no longer believe they can win by appealing to the "morally upright" so this is actually a win. The idiot ship is sinking and they are rearranging deck chairs. Let them. I'm thinking I'm going to see nationally sanctioned equality marriage not only in my lifetime but, more importantly, in an older friend of mine's lifetime.
