Crazy Talk At NH Marriage Debate
Over at Think Progress, Igor Volsky has compiled some of more outrageous claims made at yesterday's marriage debate in New Hampshire. A sampling from the below video:
REP. ALFRED BALDASARO: “The same thing happened in Canada, where they passed gay marriage. Now they’re fighting in the courts to get 3 husbands, 3 wives.”The first guy on the clip denounces the "anti-Christian bigotry" inherent in same-sex marriage.
SEN. FENTON GROEN: “[Homosexuality] will significantly increase their risk of serious diseases and can be expected to significantly shorten their lives.”
HOWARD KAUFMAN: “A future redefinition of marriage that permits polygamy would facilitate the introduction an aspect of Sharia or Islamic law that permits a man to have up to four wives.”
