So - Michelle Bachmann was asked a question about same-sex marriage while at a pizza restaurant in Waverly IA. (http://caucuses.desmoinesregister.com/2011/11/30/michele-bachmann-debates-same-sex-rights-with-high-school-students-in-waverly/).
As predicted she gave the extremely tired response as to why gays and lesbians can't get married that "They can get married, but they abide by the same law as everyone else. They can marry a man if they’re a woman. Or they can marry a woman if they’re a man."
So - Ms. Bachmann - I have a follow-up question:
Are you saying that in order to "get around" the issue of marriage equality, you're actually ENCOURAGING that people enter completely sham marriages? Doesn't that completely invalidate the idea that marriage is a sacrosanct institution that must be protected? After all - you seem to have NO PROBLEM AT ALL supporting bogus marriages solely for appearances.
This makes me wonder: is it possible you support this because - just perhaps - your own "marriage" falls under that category?
