	maybe it's because "adoption leads to incest"? (i only know such a concept exists because it was a reason that alan keyes gave for being opposed to gay marriage when he was running for senate against barack obama.) (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

So, they assume that adopted children will end up wanting to sex up their adopted family members and, without the fear of incest, will actually do it?

. . . That suggests rather strongly that these people believe that wanting to sex up your family is normal, and it's only the bloodties issue which stops it from happening. Which says a lot about Keyes et. all, all of it creepy.

no, even less logical(?) than that -- he said it was because adopted kids wouldn't know who their biological siblings were. so ignoring both the giant odds of accidentally sexing up the sibling you didn't know you had, and the fact that such a thing would have nothing to do with the sexual orientation of the adoptive parents, keyes comes up with "gay marriage inevitably (his word) leads to incest."

i swear the republicans knew they couldn't possibly win against obama so they put that guy in just for the lulz.

	. . . . . . . . . That is, without a doubt, the most illogical thing I have heard in my entire life, and I used to hang out on Usenet. (Reply to this)(Parent)
