Walker: 'We Discriminate Against Pedophilia & Incest, So Its OK to Discriminate Against Gay Marriage

http://uppitywis.org/blogarticle/walker-we-discriminate-against-pedophilia-incest-so-its-ok-discr



Nothing exemplifies this extremist hate mongering than Walker's attempt to attract bigots through a statement in support of the constitutional amendment the Wisconsin legislature was considering at the time that banned gay marriage in Wisconsin. Walker was not only content to say that he favored the amendment, but he justified the discrimination against gay couples by saying Wisconsin already discriminates against all kinds of people when it comes to marriage... you know... people like polygamists, pedophiles and those interested in incest:

Current law in Wisconsin already defines marriage as between a husband and a wife. Because the courts in other states have broaden the definition of marriage, the constitutional amendment makes it clear that the only marriages recognized in Wisconsin are between one man and one woman.

...

However, it shoud be noted that Walker DID NOT include furniture and pets in his list as Rebecca Kleefisch so wisely included in her list of things that are and are not legal marriage material.

Sadly, not only did Walker compare someone that simply wants to see their loved one in the hospital with perverts, but as Governor he has taken it one step further by trying to destroy Governor Doyle's domestic partner registry, which isn't "gay marriage" and simply seeks to offer the most minimal and basic civil rights to those in a domestic partnership.

i really don`t think he understands that the majority of the people in wisconsin problems are not about gay people marrying.
