| Don't I appear relatively sane to you? |
Sue Everhart, chairwoman of the Georgia Republican Party, told the Marietta Daily Journal in a story published Saturday that once gay nuptials are legally permitted, there will be nothing to stop a straight person from exploiting the system in order to claim marital benefits.
“You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow,” Everhart said. “Say you had a great job with the government where you had this wonderful health plan. I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you’re gay, and y’all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits? I just see so much abuse in this it’s unreal. I believe a husband and a wife should be a man and a woman, the benefits should be for a man and a woman. There is no way that this is about equality. To me, it’s all about a free ride.”
Everhart also expressed a distaste for homosexuality, which she argued is unnatural.
“Lord, I’m going to get in trouble over this, but it is not natural for two women or two men to be married,” Everhart said. “If it was natural, they would have the equipment to have a sexual relationship.”
Wait a minute. Wasn't this the plot to an Adam Sandler movie?
Yes, yes it was.
I put off posting this yesterday because I was convinced that it must be an April Fool's joke. But nope, this actually how crazy the Republican leaderhsip is in Georgia.
By the way on that whole not having the equipment for a sexual relationship? Yeah, pretty sure this woman does not have a clear understanding of gay sex. Nor the advancements that science has made in the field of sexual accoutrements.
