married to their dog?
Illinois State Rep. John Cabello (R-Rockford) reportedly told a tea party group earlier this month that hes not clear whether his states civil union law applies to humans, or if somebody can get married to their dog as well. The comments were made during the Rockford Tea Party forum on October 6, according to a Wednesday report by Kate Sosin at Windy City Times. Video of Cabellos speech was published to YouTube, but the paper said that access to the footage was revoked after they called the tea party group for comment.
Reached by Raw Story, Cabellos aides had no comment, explaining they hadnt seen the report. No calls were returned after a copy of the report was forwarded to both his district office and his office at the capital, and a message left with his campaign went unanswered.
His opponents campaign, however, was happy to talk.
Its highly offensive that Mr. Cabello would compare homosexual relationships with bestiality, Steve Spagnolo, campaign manager for Carl Wasco (D), told Raw Story. Its nonsensical at least and has no place in the realm of public officials saying such outrageously offensive things. More than one out of every 200 Rockford city households have a member that is a lesbian or gay individual and to so blatantly offend those individuals is outrageous.
He added that Wasco stands with the LGBT community on equal rights for all Americans. Pressed on whether that meant Wasco supports civil unions or full marriage equality, Stagnolo answered: Should full marriage equality be brought to the floor of the assembly, Carl would vote yes.

Cons should never be allowed to mask their hate. It needs to be pointed out all the time.

(115,719 posts)Like the looks of that hot little schnauzer down the street, do ya, Mr. Cabello?
A normal, sane person wouldn't even bring up the notion of marrying a dog. And didn't some other GOPer suggest sex with turtles a while back? Oh, yeah, that was John Cornyn, a United States Senator, who wrote: "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."
These people are messed up.
