Sen. Rick Santorum, a (shockola!) Republican, slanders gays and ignores their reaction, with them asking him to resign from Senate leadership. While discussing a Supreme Court case that will challenge a Texas sodomy law, Santorum said:
"If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual [gay] sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything."
So, I suppose the lesson from the Republican Party here is that it's OK and not biased at all to compare gay people to those who commit incest, they're all just bad people who deserve it. All you need to do to keep your job is play down the statements from gay groups, and wonder why they are calling for your head after you said they were just as bad as somebody who has practiced incest.
