Out there to Kentucky, the governor, and Asshat-In-Chief, Steve
Beshear says the state’s ban on same-sex marriage should be retained because
only "man-woman" couples can naturally procreate and Beshear says the
state has an interest in ensuring that they do.
In his lawyer’s appeal of a federal judge's ruling that
Kentucky’s ban on recognizing same-sex marriages violates the constitutional
guarantee of equal protection under the law, they contend that Kentucky has a
legitimate interest in encouraging procreation to support "long-term economic
stability through stable birth rates."
Huh? So, since two men cannot make a baby between
themselves, or two women for that matter, then they should not be allowed to
have their marriage recognized. I wonder if Beshear sees the slippery slope
toward banning the marriages of infertile couples, or couples who are well past
procreation age.
Oh, probably not, because then that would be discrimination and
not just against The Gays but against The Reg’lar Folk, and, well, you can’t
have that.
In his 32-page appeal, Beshear’s attorney says Kentucky has
an interest in maintaining birth rates, which, if allowed to fall, can induce
economic crises because of the reduced demand for goods and services, and the
reduction of the work force.
The lawyer does not, and possibly cannot, explain how
allowing same-sex couples to marry would reduce the birth rate among
heterosexual couples.
It’s just another lame-assed, asshatted attempt by a lame
asshat — and I’m talking about you, Beshear — to discriminate against gay couples.
Oh, and for the record, same-sex couples infertile couples,
and older couples can actually have children through surrogacy or adoption, so,
yeah, your argument is pointless.
I think it's been scientifically proven (by a right-wing quack somewhere) that casual exposure to same-sex married couples reduces the fertility of the terminally ignorant. But that's a good thing.
