Of course! From Axios, “Rep. Glenn Thompson (R-Pa.) was one of 157 Republicans who voted against codifying the right to same-sex marriage last week. Three days later, he attended the wedding of his son, who is gay. … Stone told local newspaper Centre Daily last week that Democrats’ Respect for Marriage Act is ‘nothing more than an election-year messaging stunt for Democrats in Congress who have failed to address historic inflation and out of control prices at gas pumps and grocery stores.’”
Just another day in the life of America. I would have given respect to Thompson if he had put out a statement that explained his vote reflects his constituents, but no! Instead, he voted against the “stunt” to troll Democrats. So, his no vote wasn’t really even based on principle; it was just to stick it to the opposition party at the expense of minorities’ rights, two of whom are his son and now son-in-law. These must be Log Cabin gays. It’s the only explanation for allowing his father to attend the wedding, knowing that if the Respect for Marriage Act does not pass, then his son’s gay marriage will be relegated to second-class status once Obergefell is reversed. This is how and why RepubliKKKlans continue to remain and gain power. Their enablers encourage them. They understand that they can vote for legislation that hurts their own flesh and blood, yet there are never any consequences. RepubliKKKlans understand that their family will always love them even though they vote for policies and legislation that re-affirms their hate for them. Whatever! Welcome to stupid America!
