How odd. I can't find 'gay marriage' anywhere on the list. Weirder still, I can't even find 'threat to masculinity' - which is exactly what gay marriage represents to all those anxious males who remain stuck in the fearful yesteryear of conservative politics.
Just think about it, one day the poor pathetic man-babies might not be on top.
What's an anxious male from yesteryear to do? Why, threaten to pass a constitutional amendment, of course.
But it will never pass.
And anxious males from the Daddy Party are simply in the last desperate throes of a pathetic last stand for prehistoric manhood. We'll all have a little peace and quiet when yesteryear's 'real men' finally arrive at the graveyard that holds the other dinosaurs.
