Homo-Politico Confused, Curious
If He Wanted Marriage, Would Do Girls

AAMalloy.jpg
Those of you living around Provincetown (aka: Gayville) have surely been following the gay v. gay state representative race between Democrat muff-diver Sarah Peake and Republican cock-licker Aaron Malloy (pictured). Like any good republican, Malloy's not so keen on gay marriage.

Our friend Ryan Adams over at Ryan's Take sent us this link to an interview Malloy did with blue-style-canopy. Let's just say he's not the most coherent politician we've ever heard:

I.N.: Why are you against gay marriage?

A.M.:Basically I see it as being a right to vote and I think it would be voted down; the issue would go back to the Supreme Court who voted it in. The vote would be like a poll and it would give them a voice. If people wanted to collect 170,000 signatures, we should let them vote.


We guess we sort of understand what he's saying, but he's not really answering the question. Maybe that's because he doesn't really understand the sentiment behind marriage. He says:
I think gay marriage is an oxymoron. If I wanted to be married, I'd be straight, it's a heterosexual thing ... What's really dividing people is that people feel like their right to vote is being taken away.

Yeah, if we wanted to be married, we'd be straight too. And a douche.

"Poor Aaron Malloy" [blue-style-canopy]

Ghastly. Is almost like he's a shill for the right wing with comments like that.

What gives anyone the right to vote on whether or not my civil rights will be recognized?

poodle says:

He makes no sense. He is in fact a douche.

Someone should out him! Oh no! Now I sound like him, but I didn't vote today so what difference do I sound.

Take away the oxy from his quote, and that's what he is. A miracle of obtuseness. The clam licker will eat him alive.

Robin says:

Jonathon, you took the words right out of my...er, hands? But yes, since when is there a right to vote for or against someone else's rights?? Oh yeah, almost forgot..."rights" is just a pretty term for politicians to throw around when it's convenient for them. We don't really have any left in this country--just the illusion of rights, while the government continues to take them away one by one.

Kevin says:

This is what the GOP does. Get someone from a minority to argue against that minoriy's interest to cause a furor and fractures. Don't vote for him.

Ryan says:

Such an entertaining story.

I almost spit milk when I read in the interview that 'if he wanted to be married, he'd do girls.' Sadly, that's an all too common sentiment among gay, closeted (and for the most part miserable) gay married people.

Vivian says:

Jonathon, like Robin said, you took the words right out of my hands. I am so sick of people thinking they have the right to vote on my rights. Who the heck are they to give or take anything from me. I live in a state that is voting on the marriage issue and I am on pins and needles. I think its a shame that I have to feel this way. This amendment is going to take everything away from me, even the rights that I now have. Shame on this country and its politics.
