http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/tamara-scott-if-you-support-gender-equality-you-should-oppose-gay-marriageLast week, Iowa Republican National Committee member Tamara Scott invited fellow RNC member Carolyn McClarty of Oklahoma on to her Truth for Our Time radio program to discuss an anti-marriage-equality amicus brief that a subset of conservative RNC members led by McClarty submitted to the Supreme Court.
As the two walked through the various points made in the amicus brief, Scott wandered into a digression about how the women who are fussing on the left about wanting to eventually see equal numbers of men and women in Congress should also oppose marriage equality, because if you ban gay marriage, there will be an equal number of men and women in each marriage.
By 2020, they want 50/50 in the state houses and the U.S. House and Senate. They want 50 percent women and 50 percent men, they want 50/50, they want equality, she said. So my laugh is, why wouldnt you want equality in a marriage? Why arent those same women wanting that same argument at home? Because we know children do better when theyre raised by their biological parents....
The feminist movement, theyve been against marriage from the beginning, against traditional marriage, and it was up until the Massachusetts court case in 2003 where they recognized same-sex marriage in Massachusetts that they kind of changed their tune, she said. And now they see that this would also destroy marriage, so theyre for same-sex marriage.
