Blackwell Compares Gay Couples, Farm Animals

SYLVANIA -- Ohio's Secretary of State is coming out strong in support of Issue One, the measure that would ban same-sex marriage. Kenneth Blackwell spoke to an energized crowd at the Cathedral of Praise Tuesday night.

Blackwell said it's time for people of God to take a stand. He even drew a comparison between same-sex couples and farm animals. "I don't know how many of you have a farming background but I can tell you right now that notion even defies barnyard logic ... the barnyard knows better," said Blackwell referring to the idea of same-sex marriage.

Blackwell was joined by Pastor Rod Parsley, president of The Center for Moral Clarity. The two men are traveling across the state trying to rally support for Issue One. News 11 contacted Secretary Blackwell's office today for further explanation. His press secretary issued the following statement on Blackwell's behalf: "Part of the function of marriage is to reproduce the human race and same-sex marriage cannot carry out that function."

1. Only the very stupid would listen to the words of a bitchy fashion critic

and a garnish, for pete's sake. Then again, the very stupid seem to run things in America.

[Huskerchub]

18. Me thinks you are confused...

J. Kenneth (Ken) Blackwell is the Secretary of State of Ohio. He is a straight, biggoted, African American politician.

Mr. Blackwell or Richard Blackwell is a well known fashion critic, former fashion designer, gay, white male who is 83 years old.

I think they are NOT the same person.

2. "the barnyard knows better" ?

why do i find these guys just a shade to gross for my taste on all levels? do they think some little old lady in podunk ohio isn`t going to be offended by using such descriptions? all the farmers standing around getting a big chuckle at barnyard logic? even worse they can`t get their argument right--"part of the function of marriage...." should`t it be "the only function of marriage" i know it`s not nice to nit pic but it`s so much fun to do so

ohhhh.... what`s this?

[madmom]

3. sorry their argument doesn't fly, homosexuality has been

witnessed in nature and the barnyard and that's been debunked before.

[iconoclastNYC]

4. What was that Republican who was on talk radio saying

That he has sex with farm animals?

[theHOMOagenda]

5. A little projection perhaps?

And this coming from an African American?

Does he simply refuse to acknowledge that his 'new friends' thought he was 3/5's of a person just a few minutes.. er.. years ago?

Ohio is disintegrating beyond facism into a true nightmare.

6. Apparentlly, Mr. Blackwell never grew up on a farm. I can attest that

I once had two neutered male hogs that attempted sex. They were always together and 'stuck up' for each other. They had a wonderful relationship.

7. douchebags

:puke:

[sui generis]

8. so singles are barnyard animals too?

and people who use birth control and get vasectomies are barnyard animals too?

I love it, here Mr. Blackwell is what you meant to say:

Marriage is about animal husbandry, and you can't have same sex animals in a breeding project.

It's much more honest when you put it that way.

[terrya]

9. Scumbags.

"Part of the function of marriage is to reproduce the human race".

What a steaming, putrid pile of horseshit. Somebody better tell heterosexual married couples who can't or won't have children...such as same-sex marriage foe Pat Buchanan...that their marriages are invalid. If we use this stupid hatemongering standard.

God, I get so fucking tired of hearing these goddamned bigots.

[BR_Parkway]

10. Can I get a farm subsidy check for my partner now? Geeze, there have been

plenty of study's showing all sorts of animals bonding in same sex pairs.

Pastor Parsley, why don't you call for a ban on divorce - just like Jesus did! No fundraising in that one, is there?

11. Blackwell and Jean Schmidt just received endorsements today...

12. This story is a year and a half old

I have no doubt the idiot still believes it but this was posted in October of 04

13. I've seen homosexual behavior just within my pets.

I had two female hamsters that would regularly hump each other. I also had three pairs of breeder parakeets at one point. None of the pairs would cheat on their partner with another bird of the opposite sex. However, two of the males, while very devoted to their females and good fathers, would also hump each other and preen each other. The other four birds never did this.

It's natural. Animals engage in homosexual behavior. Not all of them do, but some do.

14. This is pure hate speech n/t

[xchrom]

15. tapeworms with vocal chords.

16. Gay couple to farm animals

These morons just made the case, why there are some people
that shouldn't reproduce.:toast:

Squawk and Milou, male chinstrap penguins, are among several homosexual pairs at the Central Park Zoo
in Manhattan. Homosexual behavior has been documented in some 450 animal species, one researcher says.
