Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore said in an interview broadcast Tuesday that he's fighting gay marriage because he worries it would pave the way to "marriages between men and their daughters or women and their sons."
On Sunday, Moore ordered state probate judges to refuse to marry same-sex couples, defying a federal ruling that brought gay marriage to the state Monday.
ABC News correspondent Steve Osunsami asked Moore in a "Good Morning America" segment broadcast Tuesday whether he feared that his opposition to gay marriage would put him on "the wrong side of history."
"Absolutely not," Moore responded. Do they stop with one man and one man or one woman and one woman? Or do they go to multiple marriages? Or do they go to marriages between men and their daughters or women and their sons?

But I think that incest is just the excuse being used.

It is nothing new.

(12,530 posts)Once Teh Gays start marrying, there's no telling what sort of thoughts they'll put in my head. So we should just break federal law and ignore rulings, or else we'll end up with people marrying microbes and aardvarks and so on.
As with segregation, we'll eventually drag Alabama kicking and screaming toward the light (no disrespect intended toward Alabama DUers).

(21,925 posts)Purity Balls where they pledged their virginity to their dads and where a deep emotional attachment to daddy was meant to replace love from any potential boyfriend. The daughter's main value is seen as her virginity, which is owned by her father until he passes it off to her husband.

Sorry Roy.
