David Usher of the Center for Marriage Policy is out with a new column, “Our last chance to save traditional marriage,” lamenting that the Defense of Marriage Act wasn’t properly defended at the Supreme Court because it was “never argued that gay marriage is unequal and unconstitutional.”
Usher argues that if same-sex marriage is legal then women will marry other women and have children with men “by pretending they are using birth control when they are not.” “Entrapped men become economically-conscripted third parties to these marriages,” Usher writes, adding that women will also turn to the state for welfare benefits. Good heterosexual couples will be left “economically-disadvantaged” because they will be taxed to support the lesbian couples’ Big Government goodies.
But that’s not all: Usher then explains that gay men will have it the worst of all as they will be tricked into having sex with lesbians through “reproductive entrapment,” fathering their kids, and then paying child support to support them: “Marriages between two men are destined to be the marital underclass. In most cases, these men will become un-consenting ‘fathers’ by reproductive entrapment. Men in male-male marriages who become fathers by deceptive means will be forced to pay child support to women in bi-maternal marriages, and become economically enslaved” to lesbian unions.
“Men will be forced to labor for the economic benefit of marriages between women - marriages men have been ‘redlined’ out of - by the choice of two women who married with intention to have children by men outside the marriage,” Usher writes. “This approaches the definition of slavery - and perhaps sexual trafficking or bondage.”
The ridiculous argument continues, warning that “discrimination against men” will operate “similarly to pre-civil-rights racism.”
Since gay men and lesbian women will be having a bunch of kids, “schools will be aggressively promoting lifestyles that kill or disable children and infect innocent women and babies with HIV,” not to mention an increase in violent crime.
Oh, and also gay marriage will bring about the end of America: “To dismantle marriage - the most important equal rights institution framed by the Founding Fathers - is to dismantle the Constitution, freedom, and the United States of America.”
