Yesterday House Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced a laughably doomed bill that would limit the federal government to only recognizing same-sex marriages that are legally conducted in the state where the married couple resides. Since the bill’s introduction, 27 GOP members of the House have signed on as co-sponsors. The list so far is a cavalcade of crackpottery: Michele Bachmann, …

Freshman U.S. House Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX), a former HVAC repairman who won the seat vacated by retiring fellow crackpot Ron Paul, has introduced a bill he calls the State Marriage Defense Act.

“What I think the homosexuals are doing is pressing into every nook and cranny of civil society. [We must] impose God’s laws upon our systems, especially our political systems.  God’s laws require that we prosecute homosexuals who are caught in the act of homosexuality or the act of sodomy on the basis of two or three witnesses. If Christians would …

“There was once a day in this nation when lesbians and others with alternate sexual orientations were comparatively mute. There has developed a militancy that may well know no bounds, and that has torn apart the family of the former vice president of the United States. Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, is running for U.S. senator …

“Massachusetts and California have passed laws relating to calling a student, irrespective of his biological gender, letting him perform as the gender he thinks he is, or she is. I just want to emphasize, not in this district. Not until the plumbing’s changed. There would have to be castration in order to pass something like that around here.  I don’t …

France’s bizarrely homoerotic hate group, the HOMMEN, whose members are young men who photograph themselves in shirtless piles, today tweeted the above photo showing a bullet labeled “gay marriage” heading for the skull of a toddler.

Chicago Cubs co-owner Pete Ricketts is running for governor of Nebraska. Despite having a gay sister who owns the team with him, he’s against gay marriage as are the other GOP candidates.  Shocking. But the Chicago Cubs have participated in Chicago’s gay pride parade, which one candidate is trying to use against him. The Cubs’ connection to the parade raised …

“I’ve had no criticism. I’ve had savage, lying, deceptive personal attacks, but no actual criticism because they’ve never addressed any of my actual ideas. Character assassination seems to be the only political method that is in use today, and I don’t play that game, and you can’t defend against it. All you can do is try to offer ideas, and …

“When Gallup asked people to guess how many Americans were homosexual, most said 25%. Turns out, they were about 22% off. And while gays and lesbians make up about 3.4% of the population, they seem to get 100% of the consideration when producers write and cast new television shows. The debate over same-sex ‘marriage’ has been perfectly scripted by Hollywood. …

From Australia’s Daily Telegraph: Prime Minister Tony Abbott says he will “do the right thing” and attend his gay sister’s wedding but could never support the marriage.
