For an amusing perspective on the gay marriage debate, check out AMERICAblog.com. As a means to point out the hypocrisy of stating that you support the gay marriage amendment in order "to protect traditional marriage," AMERICAblog requested all of its readers to call the bill's supporters and ask them a series of questions:
Hello, I'm calling to find out if the member of Congress supports traditional marriage? Can you tell me if he or she masturbates? Do you? What about sodomy, including analingus, cunnilingus and fellatio? Is the member willing to pledge that he/she has never, is not, and will never commit those acts? Has the member ever had sex before marriage? Have you? What about adultery and prostitution? Will they swear never to have been involved, and never to be involved, in either? Will the member promise never to divorce? And finally, if the member is married, do they have children, and if not, why not?For the most part, the staffers answering the phones have stuck to their script, like in this call (mp3) to Senator Crapo [hee hee].
There's also this response from our very own Senator Hutchison. According to an AMERICAblog reader who called the once-divorced Hutchison:
I live in Dallas and just got off the phone with Kay Bailey Hutchison's staff. The person who took my question said that even though the Bible might say that a woman who is divorced and then remarries is an adulterer, no Christian really believes that. So, the Bible is really just a quaint notion, sorta like the Geneva Conventions. I will swear under oath that KBH rep said that. When I asked about why this marriage amendment is even being considered amidst the other enormous crises we're dealing with, she said she agreed with me. So, KBH is divorced but doesn't believe what the Bible says about it.Excuse me, but the GOP doesn't sanction such honesty, especially from entry-level staffers or, hell, interns. Someone's losing their summer gig come Tuesday morning.
