Is anybody paying attention?
Apr. 23rd, 2003 10:02 amSenator Rick Santorum made the following statement to the press (about an upcoming Supreme Court hearing):
"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything. All of those things are antithetical to a healthy, stable, traditional family. And that's sort of where we are in today's world, unfortunately. It all comes from, I would argue, this right to privacy that doesn't exist, in my opinion, in the United States Constitution."
Now, some papers have reported that Gay Rights Groups are upset and are trying to get an apology, or resignation from the Senator.
But I think all Americans need to stand up and speak out against this loon who believes that "this right to privacy...doesn't exist".
There's a good opinion piece about it at Salon.com. That piece also notes that the law in question is a Texas sodomy law passed the same year that the law against bestiality was repealed.
Texas. We should have let them secede from the Union.
