Republican Legislator Dabbles in Science

Filed in National by on May 7, 2009

Yep. A bad combo.

Rep. Bernard Ayotte, a Republican, said he couldn’t support the legislation because it would provide legal protections to people whom he said suffered from hormonal imbalances causing same-sex attractions.

“By all indications, homosexuality in human beings seems to be generated by imbalances in the human body,” he said. “As legislators, it is important that we do not base our statutes on genetic aberrations.”

Ayotte added that his lack of support for the legislation shouldn’t be interpreted as discrimination against gay people.

I loved that last part.

    The stupid is becoming tiresome. Tiresome, but predictable.

    (Warning: David A. alert, but it proves our point.)

  2. Reis says:

    Are these same hormonal imbalances responsible for men thinking two women are hot? (apologies to UI)

    I do believe that the state of Maine has just passed a law allowing same sex marriage. Way to go Maine?

    You’re right, Jen. No need for a question mark! 🙂

  5. Reading that was painful. Republicans should not attempt science, they’re just hurting themselves.

    In no way should me demanding money from you at gunpoint be construed as robbery.
