Check out this politician’s astoundingly stupid attempt to undermine gay marriage · PinkNews

According to a bill by State Representative Joseph M Fischer, a Republican, the definition of “matrimony” should be changed to exclude gay and lesbian couples.

A bill introduced by Fischer, which is 454 pages long, would reverse the “absolute Tyranny” created when the US Supreme Court ruled in favour of equal marriage last year.

It says: “We have full power to define marriage and to establish a new institution of matrimony in this Commonwealth.”

Put simply the bill would seek to redefine “matrimony”, as a pairing of two people of the opposite sex.

It reads: “As used and recognized in the law of the Commonwealth, ‘matrimony’ refers only to the civil status, condition, or relation of one male human being (‘husband’) and one female human being (‘wife’) united in law for life, for the discharge to each other and the community of the duties legally incumbent upon those whose association is founded on the distinction of sex.”

In case you were wondering, the bill is 454 pages long simply because, after defining a gay-free “matrimony”, it adds the term to all laws in Kentucky.
