Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert compares marriage equality to bestiality - again

Rep. Louie Gohmert (L) and Michael Reagan (R)

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert took a sideways argument against common sense gun legislation and "slippery-sloped" right over to gay "bestiality:"

In fact, I had this discussion with some wonderful, caring Democrats earlier this week on the issue of, well, they said "surely you could agree to limit the number of rounds in a magazine, couldn't you? How would that be problematic?"

And I pointed out, well, once you make it ten, then why would you draw the line at ten? What's wrong with nine? Or eleven? And the problem is once you draw that limit ; it's kind of like marriage when you say it's not a man and a woman any more, then why not have three men and one woman, or four women and one man, or why not somebody has a love for an animal?

There is no clear place to draw the line once you eliminate the traditional marriage and it's the same once you start putting limits on what guns can be used, then it's just really easy to have laws that make them all illegal.

In related news, President Reagan's son, Michael, wrote an op-ed piece bringing marriage equality, bestiality and murder into the same thinking space:

"It’s ultimately about changing the culture of the entire country; it inevitably will lead to teaching our public school kids that gay marriage is a perfectly fine alternative and no different than traditional marriage.

There is also a very slippery slope leading to other alternative relationships and the unconstitutionality of any law based on morality. Think about polygamy, bestiality, and perhaps even murder."

What's pretty grotty about the whole endeavor is that it's all done with conscious intent. These men know exactly what they are doing when they make these comments about the LGBT community.

Just, totally gross.
