keyes = idiot
Did anyone hear the Fresh Air interview with Alan Keyes a couple of days back? The man is a lunatic. I can't believe that he's the best candidate Illinois Repubs could come up with.
I only caught part of the interview but when asked about how gay marriage poses a threat to marriage in general, he basically dodged the question and started talking about how the point of marriage is procreation and therefore gays have no reason to marry.
Does this mean that once people are past child-bearing age, they shouldn't be able to marry?
And since when did we decide that religious rules about marriage should be the basis for civil laws? I suppose when the Mormons take control of the country, they'll redefine marriage to include polygamy.
