Wisconsin GOP candidate: Marriage equality will lead to sisters marrying sisters

An attorney running for Wisconsin’s Third U.S. Congressional seat told a ‘Meet the Candidate’ forum that she believes marriage equality will lead to legal incestuous marriages.

Karen Mueller, of Chippewa Falls, decried a recent federal ruling striking down Wisconsin’s same-sex marriage ban and warned of sisters marrying each other, according to the Tomah Journal.

Mueller argued that two people who wished to get married because they are committed to each other could extend to family members who seek the approval of the state.

The ban on family members marrying is because of potential genetic defects in children. In case you had not noticed, Ms. Mueller, two females cannot genetically reproduce! And...ummmmm...as a lawyer you must be aware of laws which ban incest, right?

face...palm.
