(Some things that occurred to me while I was listening to/reading the news today)
I heard a story on the radio this morning about a politician in Maryland who got drunk and crashed his boat into another boat which had among its passengers five small children. The story went on to say that the politician blamed "gay marriage" for the incident.
Naturally, I was curious.
I got home fired up the old computer machine, and Googled "drunk politician crashes boat." Unsurprisingly, I found what I was looking for right away. The drunk in question is a leader in state government in the fight to keep same-sex marriage from becoming legal. According to reports I read, he was either two-and-a-half or three times the legal limit of intoxication for driving when tested. And when he spoke about the issue later, he did blame stress from his job and worrying about same-sex marriage for his drinking. You see, the poor fellow really believes that same-sex marriage is a danger to society, and is harmful to children.
So, to sum up, the guy who thinks that homosexuality is a choice, and the wrong one at that, decided that it would be a good idea to hop in his boat and take a little joyride. Then, he ploughed into a boatload of kids, and blamed same-sex marriage for his choice instead of taking responsibility.
Here's a handy breakdown of my thoughts on the subject:
Homosexuality: Not a choice.
Getting drunk and driving your boat: Choice
Same-sex marriage: Not harmful to children
Getting drunk and driving your boat into a boatload of children: Harmful to children
Getting drunk and driving your boat into a boatload of children and injuring them and then blaming same-sex marriage for this: <facepalm>
By the way, the boat accident took place months ago. Oh, and there were a couple of happy endings to the story.
Although the crash resulted in some minor injuries, as well as some very frightened children, no one was seriously injured.
The same-sex marriage initiative, which was on the ballot for the November election, passed. Same-sex marriage is legal in Maryland.
America is one wacky place.
