Lauren Boebert Says Same-Sex Marriage Bill 'Undermined Masculinity'

[867-5309.]

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert has said the same-sex marriage bill that passed the House last week "undermined masculinity."...

Boebert slammed the legislation as an "assault on America's traditional values" on Kirk's podcast.

"I think the federal government should not be involved in marriage," she said. "My marriage between my husband is really between me and God, not between me and the government. But this was absolutely unnecessary. They have attacked our institutions. They have weakened the nuclear family and undermined masculinity and even femininity."...

Oh, Bobo.

1. Nobody cares what you think, Bozo.

[Going to Canada]

31. She has a long rap sheet and her husband exposed himself to underage girls at a Bowling Alley

She needs to take the log out of her own eye!

[FoxNewsSucks]

2. Because nothing exudes 'masculinity'

like having a husband who shows his dick to underage girls.

[dchill]

29. In which she's an expert.

[area51]

32. +1 n/t

[Ohio Joe]

3. Weird... Other peoples love lives have never impacted me...

I wonder why they impact her

[Aristus]

4. The singularity at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy is only the second-largest Black Hole

in existence.

The biggest is between that hamhock's ears.

What a staggeringly, jaw-droppingly stupid simulacrum of a female human being...

[GoCubsGo]

35. Actually, the second-largest black hole in existence

is sitting right next to her. It's Dumber and Dumbest.

[Wingus Dingus]

5. God doesn't want to have any association with your marriage to your pervert husband.

[tblue37]

6. The idiot stick thumped her really hard.

[Haggard Celine]

7. I've heard guys say that she's hot.

I think she's just an ugly piece of trash.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Boobert needs to say how same-sex marriage affects hers.

She cannot do that because it does NOT affect mine in the way she thinks. She has no case.

[eShirl]

9. dispicable political tactics that decent people would be ashamed to use

[viva la]

10. I wish she would stop talking about her sex-offender husband.

"My marriage between my husband and me is really between me and the teen girls he exposes himself to in bowling alleys. Oh, and God."

Between her and "Christian nationalist" Greene and "Feminists are ugly" Gaetz, I feel like we're back in the middle ages, where life was "nasty, brutal, and short," which does describe Boebert and Greene, for sure.

[BlueIdaho]

11. Having lost their "abortion card" they are desperate

To find a new find a new dead horse to whip. This idea of rolling back freedoms has yet to prove its worth as a campaign tool. I’m betting it’s a long term loser.

[Ilsa]

34. There you go! I guess after they

get through reversing our societal gains over the last 100 years, they'll start attacking diets, cultural preferences, etc. "That Ethiopian restaurant is offensive to American Christian values!"

[BlueIdaho]

36. Your restaurant example

Is too chilling and I expect to hearing it come out of some candidate’s mouth in this election cycle.

[sanatanadharma]

12. "I think the federal government should not be involved in marriage," she said.

So take away all her government special-class citizen tax perks, etcetera.

[Caliman73]

37. Exactly. One problem, you are thinking logically. She can't.

That would be what follows from "the government should not be involved in marriage". If they want to take the legality out of marriage and let it be simply a religious thing then we would lose the tax benefits and other protections offered to married people and not to single people.

The 14th Amendment is about equal protection under the law. An argument that conservatives have been using recently is "There is no right to (name your cause) in the Constitution." Recently Ben Shapiro said, "There is no right for a man and man or woman and woman to get married" Well Ben, there is no right for a man and woman to get married in the Constitution either. So, at this point, if a man and woman can get legally married, and there are special protections under law for that legal marriage, then guess what, the 14th provides for consenting same sex couples to be married and receive those same protections.

[Emile]

13. Who goes to Boebert for advice?

Seriously, you would have to be one big dumb ass to listen to her advice.

[brush]

14. Somebody should tell her and her idiot friend MTG...

to stop making public pronouncements as they only remind people of how stupid they are.

No one cares about her marriage or pervert husband.

[vlyons]

15. Hey Lauren, the reason states license marriages is to adjudicate

things like last wills, custody of children, incarceration of mentally impaired, record birth certificates etc. You do want your estate to be enforced per your will, don't you? And you do want your children to prove citizenship with a birth certificate, don't you.

[sop]

16. Your guns have done more to attack our institutions and weaken families than same-sex unions.

[CousinIT]

17. *ahem*

[nuxvomica]

18. Question should be: Why is RW masculinity so fragile?

Does that ever enter their minds? Does anything?

[relayerbob]

23. Very good questions

We already know the answer to the last one

[Botany]

25. Manhood being under "attack" from some kind of amorphous entity is being pushed big time now by ...

... the right and right wing social media platforms and it is a totally made up meme from cobbled together factoids.

"They" used to say white manhood is under attack but that was a little too racist so now it is just manhood. I
have lost some good friends to this nonsense. As near as can tell my friends were getting their information from
entities like Hillsdale College, The Daily Caller, something call the Hetrodox Academy, facebook, hate talk radio,
and God knows where else.

Boebert is just repeating a right wing talking point that is being pushed because reality is toxic to the right.

[moose65]

19. Hmmm.........I wonder if she's ever seen any gay men

As a gay man, I can assure her that there are millions of masculine gay men.

[Meadowoak]

27. I know many gay men that are masculine and people assume as straight,

And I also know plenty of effeminate men that are perceived as gay that are straight married men with children.

[Cracklin Charlie]

20. Republican candidates have chosen the wrong target.

At least they didn’t attack a weaker opponent this time.

They’re so dumb.

[live love laugh]

21. Anti-government bullshit.

[relayerbob]

22. The only thing that would undermine "masculinity"

would be those men who are really unsure of their "masculinity" in the first place. Maybe they should a -come out of the closet, or b - learn how to be normal so they are no longer incels (depending on what their actual orientation is behind all the masks and false bravado).

[RAB910]

24. How obscenely anti-American and immoral

to celebrate some sort of perceived advantage by robbing Americans of their basic civil rights

[Norbert]

26. The only aledged thing maculine from the Boeberts is showing ones shlong to girls.

Shut up, oh dim one.

[Blue Owl]

28. I bet she is doing this at the behest of that pervy, dick-flashing husband of hers

He sounds like a real catch -- I bet he tells her exactly what to do...

[Duncan Grant]

30. "They" have attacked "our" institutions.

Where did they ever learn to communicate like this? Hmm…

[GoCubsGo]

33. A moron and an imbecile walk into a political convention...

The most stupid member of Congress meets the dumbest podcaster in the Universe. Not going to waste my time listening to these two idiots.

[FSogol]

38. If your masculinity can be undermined by what someone else does, you're a pretty poor excuse of

masculinity.

[Ms. Toad]

39. If it's between you and God, then why did you feel the need to take out a marriage license?

You can have a ceremonial marriage in the church of your choice - and then it truly would have been between you and God.

Once you take that ceremonial marriage and register it with the state, it ALSO becomes essentially a 3-party contract with the state, from which you (and any other married couple) benefit.

It is just fine if your church doesn't want to marry same-gender couples. But it isn't fine when you exclude same gender couples from the legal benefits that registering with the state provides.
