Funnier Than Fiction

One of the least self-aware bigots I have digitally come across in a while:


As The Stranger editor Dan Savage points out on his hilarious weekly sex advice column, "Savage Love":

"And now a question for you, Representative Elliott: Are you really sure you want to make it illegal for buttfuckers to get married?

"'According to a 2005 survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention," Baconcat wrote on Slog, The Stranger's blog, in reaction to Elliott's remarks, "40 percent of men and 35 percent of women between 25 and 44 had engaged in heterosexual anal sex. Some studies put the incidence of anal sex in the heterosexual population as low as 24 percent and some as high as 56 percent. Averaging those numbers, let's say 38.8 percent of heterosexuals engage in anal sex. Ninety-six percent of Americans are straight. There are 190,000,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 65 in the United States, so that means 70,771,200 adults are engaging in heterosexual anal sex. Four percent of the adult population is gay, or 7,600,000 people. Roughly half—3,800,000—are gay males. Polls indicate that between 55 and 80 percent of gay males participate in anal sex. Taking the average—67.5 percent—that means the number of gay men having anal sex comes to 2,565,000."

"Math is hard, Representative Elliott, but see if you can't wiggle this into your cranial cavity: 70,771,200 is more—a whole lot more—than 2,565,000. If you really want to protect the sacred sanctity of marriage from the unholy taint of penises wiggling in rectums, Representative Elliott, you need to ban straight marriage first."


The proposed ban on same-sex marriage, less than three months since it was legalized in the state of New Hampshire, was soundly shot down this week.
