Listen: J.D. Hayworth, McCain’s GOP Challenger in Arizona, Compares Gay Marriage to Man-Horse Marriage

Andy Towle March 15, 2010

Hayworth

In an interview on Florida's WORL radio station yesterday, Former Arizona congressman JD Hayworth, who is challenging Senator John McCain in Arizona, said that allowing same-sex marriage under some definitions could lead to a man marrying his horse if he really loved it, and the only way to stop it is with a federal marriage amendment.

Said Hayworth: "You see, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, when it started this move toward same-sex marriage, actually defined marriage — now get this — it defined marriage as simply, 'the establishment of intimacy,'. Now how dangerous is that? I mean, I don't mean to be absurd about it, but I guess I can make the point of absurdity with an absurd point — I guess that would mean if you really had affection for your horse, I guess you could marry your horse. It's just the wrong way to go, and the only way to protect the institution of marriage is with that federal marriage amendment that I support."

Listen, AFTER THE JUMP…
