63 Texas legislators sign court brief linking same-sex marriage to incest, pedophilia

Sixty-three Texas legislators have signed a court brief calling on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold the states’ bans on same-sex marriage.

Legislators who signed the friend-of-court brief are members of the Texas Conservative Coalition, a caucus of the Legislature that filed it Monday.

Last week, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott appealed a federal district judge’s decision in DeLeon v. Perry, which struck down the marriage bans as unconstitutional, to the 5th Circuit Court in New Orleans.

Legislators who signed the Texas Conservative Coalition brief include Sen. Dan Patrick, the Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, and Sen. Ken Paxton, the GOP nominee for attorney general.

I'll bet there are more straight males commit incest and child rape than same sex community would has ever committed
Just how ignorant can conservatives be? Coming from an childhood that threatened me with sexually advances from a family member that represented a father, I feel I speak from authority and not from being told what to think.
