They Have Them in Australia, Too.

Via Joe.My.God., this quote from a barrister figuring possible challenges to the proposed equal marriage law in the A.C.T.:

Barrister Christopher Brohier, of Lawyers for the Preservation of the Definition of Marriage, says there are all sorts of scenarios whereby the laws could be taken to the High Court. "A group or a married couple for example might argue that say their marriage is affected because before the legislation if they went out to a party and a man said 'I'm married', everybody would know he's married to a girl. But after the legislation he might say well, 'I've got to explain that I'm married to a girl rather than a boy and that has an effect on me personally'."

I bet he could get a job with Liberty Counsel or the ADF in a minute.

And wait a minute: "Girl"? "Boy"? Not man or woman? What stage of emotional development are we dealing with here?

Pathetic.
