From “Texas Voters Approve Ban on Gay Marriage”, the Associated Press, November 9, 2005:
“Texans know that marriage is between a man and a woman, and children deserve both a mom and a dad. They don’t need a Ph.D. or a degree in anything else to teach them that,” said Kelly Shackelford, a leader Texans For Marriage, which favored the ban.
Southern anti-intellectualism continues to thrive! It’s almost enough to make one feel sorry for the faculty and students at a place like Rice University.
But not really. Fuck you, Texas.
One reply on “No, all they need is an inability to read, and a strong, well-defined dislike of colored folks”
