In arguing against a proposed bill in
Hawaii which seeks to legalize gay marriage, Jim Hochberg, president
of Hawaii Family Advocates, claims that allowing such unions would
lead to people marrying animals and themselves.
On Wednesday, the Hawaii Senate
overwhelmingly approved the bill and the House is expected to open
its debate on Thursday.

Senate approves gay marriage bill.)
“You have to ask yourself the
question, 'Well, where does it stop?'” Hochberg
asked in a recent video released by the group. “We have
bisexual people who like to have sex with both their own and other
gender – so should they be able to have two spouses? And then, why
not four so that each person can have two of the other and one of the
same? Or five? Or whatever!”
“Whatevers” listed on the screen
included polygyny, polyandry, bi-sexual marriage, group marriage,
concubinage and “beastiality” [sic].
“I read on the Internet that a woman
somewhere married herself because she had her inner groom. It's just
getting ridiculous!” Hochberg added.
Of course, the bill being debated in
Hawaii would not legalize any of the unions mentioned by Hochberg.
