Rep. Louie Gohmert from Texas says he can prove same-sex marriage goes against nature. All he needs are eight gay men, a deserted island, and a couple of centuries.
While speaking before a group of impressionable young conservatives last week, Gohmert proposed a plan to prove, once and for all, that God intended marriage to be between one man and one woman by conducting a “science” experiment, an odd gambit for Gohmert, who flatly rejects sexual orientation science.

“We could take four heterosexual couples, married, and put them on an island where they have everything they need to sustain life,” he said. “Then take four all-male couples and put them on an island with all they need to sustain life, take four couples of women, married, and put them on an island, and let’s come back in 100 to 200 years and see which one nature says is the preferred marriage.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
There’s just one teeny tiny flaw in Gohmert’s experiment: The average life expectancy of a human being is approximately 80 years. So how does he plan on returning to check on things when the 100 to 200 years are up?
However, we do like the idea of living on a tropical island with a bunch of gay guys at the government’s expense. Now that would be an interesting experiment.
Gohmert also had some choice words for the Supreme Court, accusing the justices of usurping God by saying “forget what Moses said God said, forget what Jesus said God said, we’re God and you go by what we say!” No mention of the that little document known as the Constitution.
He also insisted Justices Elena Kagan and Ruth Bader Ginsburg “ought to be impeached” for officiating over the weddings of same-sex couples.
Oh, and that Obama. Impeach him, too. You know, just because.

Oh, my god… this shit again? How many times do we have to keep saying to these ignoramuses (and he is looking more and more reptilian by the day)? The fact that we cannot reproduce has no bearing on our ability to care for children, nor is it a prerequisite to marry… or will all couples have to prove their fertility before getting a marriage license? And what does homosexuality say about us? Nothing. If you put all straight men on an island, or all straight women, or all barren heterosexual couples, or heterosexual couples that only had one gender from that point on, you’d have the same problem. That’s the beauty of “What ifs”… you can keep going and going and going.
Enough of this bumbling buffoon trying to force his fundamentalist fire and brimstone Christianity and the BAHHH-BULL on the rest of America.

didn’t they try that experiment? I think the answer is Australia. Look what became of it…So that would be a fabulous idea. A gay country..with all the lawyers, doctors, engineers, etc. We would be the controlling interest after a few years…

Wtf how bout we banish his ass!!ð??¡

And why do the couples on the island need to be married? That is such an arbitrary characteristic… like your sperm and eggs won’t work unless there’s a ring on the finger.
It’s also funny how GOP individuals like him will decry SCOTUS’s decision to implement nationwide marriage equality, but have NO problem with the Hobby Lobby ruling… or is it that SCOTUS members only need to be impeached when they go the other way? I do agree though that the justices should have terms.

And if we had put Rush Limbaugh on a desert island with ALL of his wives, we could come back in 100 yrs and find absolutely nothing. NOTHING. The man is a serial husband and has no children to show for it.
And as for Gomert, I’d rather be born to a crackhead streetwalker than have to grow up as his kid. If so, I’d at least have a chance of being adopted by a nice straight, gay, or lesbian couple that didn’t raise me to be an idiot asswipe.
And for the record, Gomert has a bad case of I-suck-dick-in-bookstores in his voice when you listen to him on telly. Just sayin’.

I wonder if this is the same Gomert I saw on a Young Turks youtube clip a few years ago, around the last election, on film making a complete fool of himself.
He was addressing some gathering of people, his voice was very high and it sounded like he was in distress. He was saying something like, “I have been a republican in times good, and I have been a republican in times bad..”
The whole thing was a spectacle. Gomert looked like he was on crack or some kind of upper, face flushed and rushing around the stage. The Young turks crew had a good laugh and so did the commentators.

I also want to mention that the heterosexual island would eventually have gay people on it , as the the heteros continue to reproduce. After all, homos come from heteros, so either way, we win. We’ll always be around. That’s nature, btich.

Yep! The Heti Island will be a waste land of over population, crime and an enviromental disaster I cite Easter Island as my proof.

If the government, on all levels, hadn’t decided to try to make a buck off of marriage in the first place or pick winners and losers in the income tax and dependent benefits game, this would be a non issue. Its none of their frickin’ business. And furthermore, real followers of Christ, the church, should know better than to judge, lest they be judged. I am a follower of Christ, not some religious nutjob!

Gohmert, as usual, completely misses the point. Marriage is a contract entered into by 2 people who pledge to love and care for eachother. The marriage license is issued by the State. Churches are welcome to claim that “To Them” marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman, (shhh… Don’t tell King David with his 1000 wives and concubines) but even the Religious must get a license from the state.
David Painter
I wanna go, kinda like our own Gaystralia. We could send conservatives to their own island called Stuck in the Pastland.

Walt Andersen
Is there a gas leak, or is someone drugging the water in Congress? One rep wants to basically destroy what is left of the planet, and this ass wants the land masses divided between gays and straights and races. I think the Republicans all need to be kicked out and along with their billionaire overlords locked up and the keys thrown away. Where is Robin Hood or Zorro when you need ’em.

Oh my GOD, I am so tired of hearing this one. You’re not going to prove a frigging thing about the whole of humanity by plucking out a few individuals and isolating them like that. I could use the same logic, make a bee colony of nothing but queens and drones, watch them die out in a season and say “see, proves that queens and drones are useless when it comes to keeping the bee population alive.” Moron.

He is so weak minded that he thinks that he can count and find all the Gays to banish. He doesn’t get it that they are being born right now as he might read this post. They are being born all the time, right now there is a little gay boy and a little lesbian being born in his own state of Texas and many, many more all over the country and the world. It is a losing idea Goober, you can’t banish a truth of life. Homosexuality is just like air and water, it might be uncomfortable to some, but it is truth and cannot be changed.
Giancarlo85
So where all the drum beating gay republicans? NO FUCKING WHERE TO BE FOUND ONCE AGAIN. They all run and hide when they hear republicans talk like this. Louie Gohmert is the heart of the republican party. Some of the gay republican backstabbers would love Gohmert though as he called for an impeachment of Obama.
You can’t make this shit up. Sad the mentally unstable can seek office.
jason smeds
What Gohmert forgets is that sexual activity between men – from mutual masturbation to grinding to actual penetration – is about fun. Fun, fun, fun. It’s not meant to replace heterosexuality in terms of its significance for the future of the human race.
A note about heterosexual interactions: they are generally more fun for the man than they are for the woman as the latter’s sex drive is markedly lower than the former’s.
She basically puts out to please him and keep his happiness meter ticking.

Louis Gohmert is widely acknowledged on both sides of the aisle in the House of Representatives as one of the dumbest, most imbecilic members of Congress. If there is a ludicris notion that wanders past a security screener into a House office building, Gohmert wil be certain to find it, embrace it as genius and then champion it like he was fighting for all of the vowels in the magna carta. It’s difficult to fathom how he gets reelected, even from Texas (He just reinforces my belief that we should wall Texas off from the other states and saltpeter its water supply.)

Giancarlo85
@martinbakman: They accept them because they view the interests of the republican party over their own interests. They think the republican party has some “great plan” for the economy, infrastructure and other issues.
One can only look at the past 4 republican Presidencies (not counting Gerald Ford as he didn’t do much anyways). Watergate, Iran-Contra, Vomit in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister and a lie that launched a war that resulted in thousands of dead Americans and over 400,000 dead civilians.
Some record. I suppose throwing up in the lap of the Japanese Prime Minister was the best Presidency of those four failures. And he only lasted one term and gave us that asshole son of his.

Gohmert thinks that gays are recruited into being gay — or “choose a gay lifestyle” – he does not understand that people are BORN gay. Dumb.
