New Mexico Republican: Gays Should Stop 'Whoring Around,' Marry Women

[William769]

A Republican state senator in New Mexico pointed to ancient societies as proof that marriage is only intended for one man and one woman in a blog post last week, citing examples from ancient Chinese philosophy, Greek society, and colonial America.

As several New Mexico counties began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples last week, Sen. William Sharer penned a blog post claiming that society's foundation and history itself would cease to exist without the procreative nature of male-female unions.

In his historical post, Sharer acknowledges that Alexander the Great "may have engaged in homosexual activity, but he married a woman."

"He directed his officers to stop 'whoring' around and find a local woman to marry," writes Sharer. "WHY? BECAUSE 'It is only through blood relations that hatred and war will end.' In other words, Alexander the Great thought that marriage was about creating and raising the next generation."

Dear Mr. Sharer,

No thank you.

1. The guy's a real piece of work, votes teabagger every time

worships corporations and hates people. He's pro forced birth because he wants more people to look down on.

Unfortunately, he's from a semi rural district and will likely be kept in office, the worthless piece of shit.

7. +1

However complex - and sometimes contradictory - the ancient world's attitudes toward same-sex relationships, you can't say they were uniformly negative. Far from it.

8. Would he want me marrying his daughter?

I thought not.

Why do these vicious old farts all think it's OK to ruin so many people's lives with their rigidness and lack of empathy? So what if 10% of the population never produces a kid, there's way more than enough people on the planet already (Although that does not mean that I condone the US attempt to remove so many by shooting them down or incarcerating them).

I just don't get why it's so important for everyone to have kids, or be married, or even partnered.
