Iowa Republican: Feminists should oppose gay marriage to ensure women and men married in equal numbersA Republican Party official in Iowa committed acts of atrocity against logic to explain why gender equality advocates should oppose same-sex marriage.
Tamara Scott, a state Republican National Committeewoman and talk radio broadcaster, hosted an RNC member from Oklahoma who signed onto an amicus brief sent to the U.S. Supreme Court as it hears arguments on gay marriage, reported Right Wing Watch.
Guest Carolyn McClarty explained the points made by RNC members who signed the brief, and Scott mused that feminists should oppose marriage equality to remain consistent with their views on gender equality.
By 2020, they want 50/50 in the statehouses and the U.S. House and Senate, Scott said. They want 50 percent women and 50 percent men, they want 50/50, they want equality. Scott said banning same-sex marriage ensured an equal number of men and women were married.

(115,268 posts)would just give up and marry people of the opposite sex instead of continuing their relationships with their same-sex partners as they have always done? Would that mean the cute gay guy down the street might dump his partner and marry me instead? AWESOME!!!
...What an idiot....

"I am sorry gentlemen, but you'll have to wait until two more lesbian couples get married. In the mean time, if you would consider marrying females, it would make our numbers work so much better."
I would support a law that says stupid people can't run for office, but it'd certainly wipe out one of our two parties.

(82,383 posts)If gay people are married, then more people are married. Of course when there is no gay marriage the number of men and women married have to be equal, but so what? Usually there are women who then have to be single, or in some areas, men.
LOL.
