Why do Republicans tolerate a marriage of two smokers?

[Boojatta]

If there had been billboards in the 1960s of the Marlborough Man wearing a dress and trying to sell dresses, then wouldn't there have been complaints? Smoking (but not wearing a dress) was considered to be masculine. Therefore, two smokers are two masculine people. Aren't Republicans supposed to be protecting traditional marriage from that kind of marriage?

1. OK - there's some kind of joke here but you don't quite bring it home

It's not actually funnier than saying "Boy Republican are Morons."

Which isn't that funny, although many will act like it is.

4. Smoking was also considered feminine back then too -

here's some Marlboro ads from the 40s --

Smoking could be the height of masculinity and the epitome of femininity at the same time. Just another reason why smoking rocks.

I want to understand I must grasp this. Overload overload!
