NOM's Misplaced Efforts to "Protect Marriage"

I don't know about you, but I almost vomit when I hear self-enriching, money whoring Maggie Gallagher and Tony Perkins and others like them whine about "protecting the sanctity" of marriage. Right behind that in my book is the bullshit mantra that children need a mother and a father. Well right out of bigot extraordinaire Sally Kern's own back yard we have an example of what NOM is so busy allegedly protecting. The headline of the article is "Bethany Couple Arrested on Bestiality, Drug Complaints." Oh, and yes, these stellar examples of marriage are legally married and have three children - or at least they did until the children were taken at least temporarily into state custody. Yep, these two get to marry and are deemed worthy by Christianists to be parents, but same sex couples do not. It's beyond f*cked up. Here are some highlights from the Oklahoman:
*
Edward James Double, 35, and his wife, Brandy Teresa Double, 35, were jailed on complaints of bestiality, exhibition of obscene materials to minor children, maintaining a disorderly house, possession of illegal drugs and soliciting sexual conduct with a minor.
*
Three dogs and four children were removed from a home and a Bethany couple arrested after police officers found bestiality videos and evidence a girl staying with the family was solicited for sex, police said.
*
Three boys and a girl, all younger than 15, were taken from the home at 6710 NW 26 and are in state custody, Bethany Police Chief Phil Cole said. He said in his 20 years as a police officer in Bethany he has heard of only one other bestiality case, and that was more than a decade ago and involved a mentally ill man.
*
“We've recovered videotape of people having sex with animals,” Cole said. “It's disgusting. And we pray that none of the kids have been molested.” . . . .

Cole said video recordings were found of a couple having sexual relations with a dog. He said the recordings were made in the master bedroom of the home.
