Conservatives, I’m begging you: Leave animals out of your gay marriage talking points

Sure we love our pets, but do we really ‘love’ our pets? Those crazy conservatives are always looking for ridiculous ways to skew the public’s opinion on same-sex marriage.

Over the weekend, former Rep. J.D. Hayworth, who’s running against John McCain in Arizona’s Republican Senate primary, resurrected a preposterous old saw. Lamenting the Massachusetts Supreme Court’s move to define marriage as merely “the establishment of intimacy” (nowhere found in the wording of the MA ruling), he said, “I guess that would mean if you really had affection for your horse, I guess you could marry your horse.”

Another day, another idiot worries that gay marriage – the union between two adult, consenting humans – will lead to bestiality.

It’s officially become tired.
