To someone of the opposite sex, of course. www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/01/michele-bachmann-gay-marriage_n_1123784.html?ref=fb&ir=Gay+Voices&src=sp&comm_ref=falseWhile campaigning in Iowa, Bachmann received a series of questions from a high school student that eventually led to her asking, "Why can't same-sex couples get married?" Genius Bachmann insists they can get married, as long as it's to someone of the opposite sex. Silly same-sex couples, petitioning for equal rights when they've had equal rights all along! Seriously, this woman disgusts me more every day. I don't know whether these tears are from laughter or sorrow. |

Ugh. She doesn't even listen to herself. By her standards, heterosexual couples do have a privilege gay couples don't- to marry someone they're in love with. That video was disgusting, too; everyone kept applauding her garbage answers.

That answer isn't helping that whole Marcus Bachmann problem

Wasn't this line of thought refuted a long time ago? I'm just glad that this woman decided that she wasn't actually going to run for president.

See, whenever I hear this excuse, these people are unwittingly admitting that the person's gender is more important for the reason you're marrying them rather then the fact you love them.

Black people can still marry- they've just got marry black people! That's not an unreasonable restriction of rights at all, right?

Of course you have freedom of religion, you're free to be protestant or deported!

And yet, people still worship the ground that she salts walks on.

Good thing she's basically unelectable to the swing voters or we might have an issue.
Ironbite-also I thought this line of thought has been throughly debunked?

I've heard this argument before, to which I always respond;
If a man is legally allowed to marry a woman, but a woman is not allowed to legally marry the same woman, purely because of gender, explain to me how that is NOT textbook gender discrimination?
I'm yet to get a response to that counterargument.

And you won't get an answer to that because these people haven't had an original thought in their heads in forever.
Ironbite-and they never will have an original thought in their head because well...they're stupid.

I'm yet to get a response to that counterargument. And LHM pounds the nail on the head with such a great force that it drives the point home flawlessly. Too bad the other side is derp-eyed and can't see the nail for the toolbox. |

I never thought about it that way, but I can already hear how people will denounce it. And, unfortunately, they do have a precedent for it. We just kind of accept that gender segregation is natural.
