"We'll end on a note of reason from Texas senator republican John Cornyn, who, in a speech to the Conservative Heritage Foundation this week put the gay marriage issue thusly: '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.' So to sum up, it'll take two thirds of both houses and three quarters of the states to approve an amendment saying that two straight parents are better than one straight parent which is still greater than two gay parents which is equal to a guy screwing a turtle."
