| Description | A Republican state representative in Illinois defended his opposition to gay marriage on Wednesday by comparing same-sex unions to polygamy and statutory rape.
In an email to a constituent who inquired about his position on the issue, Rep. Tom Morrison (R-Palatine) wrote that re-defining marriage could ultimately lead to marriage between two or more people or even marriage between one man and a 9-year-old child.
“If one male and one female is discriminatory, then isn’t limitation of marriage to just two people discriminatory, too?” he wrote. “There are men who would like to marry two or more consenting females. Would you define their relationship as marriage, too? Could a man marry a consenting 9-year old girl? Why not? To refuse them would be discrimination. Again, where would you draw the line?” |
