Mexican governor: Gay marriage ‘grosses me out’
Mexican governor: Gay marriage ‘grosses me out’

(Guadalajara, Mexico) The governor of Mexico’s Jalisco state says gay marriages disgust him.

Gov. Emilio Gonzalez says marriage should be between a man and a woman. He adds, in his words, “that other thing, as they say, still grosses me out.”

Gonzalez spoke Friday at a forum on family in Guadalajara city.

Guadalajara has been a focal point of Mexico’s debate over gay marriage, which sharpened after Mexico City enacted a law in December allowing same-sex couples to wed and adopt children.

Cardinal Juan Sandoval, the archbishop of Guadalajara, stirred controversy by suggesting Mexico City’s government bribed the Supreme Court to uphold the law in August.

Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard filed a defamation suit against Sandoval.

1. That's ok. It grosses out a lot of American politicians, too.
Because God is in the mix, and God has declared certain things icky.

4. God is fine with it
It's the judgmental Judeo-Christian religions that are not. And the reglions are not fine with heterosexual relations unless they are within the marriage contract, and the marriage contract is not fine unless the particular religion says that it is fine.



:crazy:

5. Earth to Gonzalez: Everything is not about You.
I don't know or care what your thoughts are about gay marriage, and you are not there to dictate, anyway - you are a PUBLIC SERVANT, emphasis on SERVE. :mad:

6. People working together in love is gross?
People forming a community, helping each other, working together is gross? I do not think that word means what he think it means.
