Rick Santorum on Gay Marriage (No Surprises Here) | Queer Landia

?Is anyone saying same-sex couples can?t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too??-Rick Santorum

This is one of the most ridiculous things I?ve heard anyone say about gay marriage. Presumably, he is not in a romantic relationship with his children, friends, brother, or mother-in-law. I?m giving him the benefit of the doubt here, whether justified or not. His statement doesn?t even make sense to me. Is he denying that same-sex couples have a romantic relationship, which is why it makes sense to compare it to other non-romantic, non-sexual relationships? Or is he trying to suggest that, if people of the same sex are in a relationship, then they are also prone to having ?inappropriate? relationships with others in their lives?

?If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. Does that undermine the fabric of our society? I would argue yes, it does. ? That?s not to pick on homosexuality. It?s not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing.? USA Today interview

Okay, I was wrong. ?This one makes much less sense. I?m ?not even going to try to figure this one out. He can?t really be comparing gay sex to incest, can he? ?Ugh. ?Yes, I already know the answer to that. The scary thing is that, if he is the Republican nominee, there are a LOT of people who would blindly vote for him simply because he?s the nominee. I?m pretty sure my parents would, sad as that makes me. My mom, who lives in the South, told me, to my surprise, that if Obama was a good president, she would vote for him to have another term, yet she recently said she wouldn?t vote for him, feeling he hadn?t done anything to impress her. ?I?m pretty sure Rick Santorum wouldn?t either. Let?s just hope he doesn?t get that chance.
