John Cornyn: Gays = Box Turtles

Crossposted from my blog, Burnt Orange Report:

Occationally, you have to give Andrew Sullivan a little credit.  He found this gem about the Junior Senator from Texas:

"It does not affect your daily life very much if your neighbor marries a box turtle. But that does not mean it is right. . . . Now you must raise your children up in a world where that union of man and box turtle is on the same legal footing as man and wife."

-- Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), advocating a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in a speech Thursday to the Heritage Foundation.

That's right. In 2004, it's men marrying men and women marrying women.  In ten years, it'll be men marrying goldfish and women marrying box turtles.  Really, can anyone take these nuts seriously?
