GOP State Lawmaker Writes Letter To Editor About Dangers Of Anal Sex

[DonViejo]

TOM KLUDT – MAY 1, 2014, 3:26 PM EDT

When he learned that South Dakota is poised to become the latest state to face a legal challenge against its same-sex marriage ban, Steve Hickey was inspired to take action.

The Republican state House representative and pastor submitted a letter to the editor this week to the Argus Leader, South Dakota's largest newspaper. He titled it "A One Way Alley for the Garbage Truck" and challenged the "medical and psychological communities" to weigh in on the matter.

"I'm asking the doctors who practice in our state, is the science really settled on this issue or is it more the case that you feel silenced and intimidated?" Hickey wrote in the letter, which he posted on his Facebook page.

He didn't waste any time getting to the point.

"Certainly there are board-certified doctors in our state who will attest to what seems self-evident to so many: gay sex is not good for the body or mind," he wrote. "Pardon a crude comparison but regarding men with men, we are talking about a one-way alley meant only for the garbage truck to go down. Frankly, I’d question the judgment of doctor who says it’s all fine."

[randys1]

2. Hate hate hate...that is all they know, hate hate hate

when YOU all are tired of this filth and are ready to SHAME them

let
me
know

[kimbutgar]

3. Maybe he has first hand knowledge of anal sex

Thou thinks he protest too much. Maybe he knows about pokey pokey in back door.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

9. Yes

[Ken Burch]

12. You wouldn't call that first HAND knowledge, though.

just sayin'.

[msanthrope]

4. They really are obsessed with anal sex......nt

[CincyDem]

6. Being obsessed with it isn't really the problem...

It's being obsessed with other people doing it that's the problem.

Seriously - don't go dissin' my obsession. LOL

[CincyDem]

5. And he knows this is a one way street how ?

I mean, the way I learned that Lombard was one way west what that I was driving east when the cop stopped me. He said "this is a one way street". I said "but I'm only going one way".

Ok - seriously - how does this guy know it's a one-way alley...he's gotten up close to see someone's "do not enter" sign???

I'm putting him in the "didn't work when I tried it - shouldn't work for anyone" camp...and I'm stickin' too it.

7. I suspect MDs would objectively reply - STDs aren't a function of sexual preference.

His focus is obviously way off the board. And he has no clue about a public health agenda.

HPV
Syphilis
Gonorrhea
HIV
etc.

[frylock]

8. probably lies awake at night, in a pool of sweat..

tossing and turning while thinking about that awful AWFUL gay sex.

[Ken Burch]

11. And going to lots of websites just to see for himself, over and over again, how awful it is.

A lot of his office expense allowance goes to cover "research".

[Starry Messenger]

10. Has this guy never seen straight porn?

[retread]

13. He should take his letter and shove it up his "one way alley"! n/t

[surrealAmerican]

14. Does this mean that he's fine with same-sex marriage that doesn't ...

... involve anal intercourse, and that he's opposed to mixed-gender marriage that involves anal sex?
.

Somehow, I thought not. If he really wanted to ban a set of sexual practices, marriage laws would not be the way to do it.

[mokawanis]

15. He'd question the judgement of a doctor who says it's all fine?

In other words, he's already made his judgement and he's not gonna let science and facts get in the way.

[Spirochete]

16. And that's his burning priority issue

he thinks deserves everyones undivided attention? Where do they find these people? Geesh!
