Gay Democrats ask for marital history of GOP legislators
This is just priceless.

My favourite quotes:

Claiming divorce -- not same-sex unions -- is undermining the sanctity of marriage, a group of gay Democrats on Monday asked state GOP Chairman Jim Kittle to identify Republican legislators who have been divorced.

The request comes as House Republicans are attempting to force a vote on a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. The amendment -- which Republicans last week called "the most important issue we're dealing with this session" -- was approved by the Senate but has been stalled in the House by Democratic leadership.

"We think it is fair to ask during this debate how many legislators who are demonizing gay marriage have actually committed the most grievous possible injury to the institution they claim to want to protect," said Linda Perdue, president of the Indiana Stonewall Democrats.


snip. . .

It gets funnier, folks!

Ellen Whitt, deputy campaign manager for Daniels, said the candidate is married with four children. She would not comment on whether he had ever been divorced.

Miller said he supports an amendment as the best way to protect traditional marriage, which he called "the foundation of our society."

"Divorce is tragic, but it does not destroy the institution of marriage," said Miller, who noted he is divorced and has remarried.

"Legalizing same-sex marriage will destroy the institution of marriage."


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Could these right-wingers be any more dense? :D
