News: "Straight people will enter into gay marriage..."

Georgia GOP Chairwoman Sue Everhart warned that straight people might enter into fraudulent gay marriages to obtain benefits, the Marietta Daily Journal reported Saturday.

"You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow,” she told the Journal. “Say you had a great job with the government where you had this wonderful health plan. I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you’re gay, and y’all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits? I just see so much abuse in this it’s unreal. I believe a husband and a wife should be a man and a woman, the benefits should be for a man and a woman. There is no way that this is about equality. To me, it’s all about a free ride.”

It's theoretically possible that such a scenario could happen, but there isn't any evidence of widespread fraud following the adoption of gay marriage in nine states and the District of Columbia. Though fictional, the premise of the 2007 Adam Sandler movie "I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry" was a pair of straight firefighters getting domestic partnership status.

Everhart does not note the possibility of marriage fraud among opposite-sex couples, though others have warned against marriage fraud committed in order to get immigration benefits. In reality, the number of proven cases of such fraud is extremely small.

Everhart also said she could not understand how two gay people could ever have sex. "If it was natural, they would have the equipment to have a sexual relationship," she told the Journal.

Is the bitch saying if you allow gay marriage straight guys will marry other guys? Dum bitch

Eric.

But don't people already do this with man-woman marriages? -_____-

And considering how homophobic many Latin American countries are (and where the main influx of immigrants comes from), the chances of them using same sex marriages as means to obtain a US citizenship are almost zero.

Jesus Christ, straight people can already do this with the opposite sex. This woman was not thinking.

Republicans are getting ridiculous with their justification that equal marriage will destroy the country.

theo.

This happens with straight marriages too. What of kind failed logic?

My uncle married some white chick for a green card or whatever, it happens ALL the time

And there shouldn't be any benefits exclusive to gay marriage. That's why it's called equal rights

Igrt

The can already do that with heterosexual relationships.

Soooooo.......

Her point is null and void.

I see they are running out of excuses for gay marriage so this **** happens.

BadMonster

Not her ignoring the fact straights can just marry for the benefits and actually discriminating the gays by saying only straights should have the benefits

Also, not her being so dumb she doesn't even realise gays CAN have intercourse and DO have the equipment to make it happen.

I think we need to take "could not understand" literally here

The ignorance has me screaming though

alfonso12

Like a man and a woman couldn't do this.
