Kentucky: Our Same-Sex Marriage Ban Isn't Anti-Gay Because It Applies To Straight People, Too

FUCK STEVE BESHEAR.


HE is a disgrace to the Democratic Party

Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear's (D) administration is arguing the state's ban on same-sex marriage isn't discriminatory because it applies to straight people, too.

"Kentucky’s marriage laws treat homosexuals and heterosexuals the same and are facially neutral. Men and women, whether heterosexual or homosexual, are free to marry persons of the opposite sex under Kentucky law, and men and
women, whether heterosexual or homosexual, cannot marry persons of the same sex under Kentucky law," Beshear said in a brief filed with the Supreme Court on March 27.

In the brief, Beshear also argues "there is no fundamental right to same-sex marriage."

It doesn't apply to straight people in any way. Duh! Straight people are not interested in marrying someone of the same gender. If they were, they wouldn't be straight people.
