"We're allowing gay couples to exist. Isn't that generous of us?!" - PA Senator Eichelberger Yes! Yes, how wonderfully kind-spirited of you not to gun them down left and right in the streets!
You know what? Pardon my French, but just fuck him. I am so unbelievably tired of homophobic ignorance. Here is a DIRECT QUOTE from this fine, eloquent, high-thinker:
LEACH: How would he [Eichelberger] want to encourage stability in gay couples?
EICHELBERGER: I wouldn’t. I mean they can practice whatever sexual activity they like to practice, but there’s no reason to give them special consideration. We don’t give them special consideration in Pennsylvania for any reason. Why in the world would we allow them to marry?
Well gee, because maybe it's not just about sex, you ignorant, mentally-deficient excuse for a human being. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, people of the same sex - plenty of whom are smarter, kinder, far better human beings than you - fall in love. What about that, Eichelberger?
Eichelberger: They’re not being punished. We’re allowing them to exist, and do what every American can do. We’re just not rewarding them with any special designation.
Except get married, huh?
Hypocritcal asshat. How do people like this even make it into public office?
