gay people "pretending to be partnered" to get benefits.

Legal and federally recognized same-sex marriage. Bingo! problem solved.

3. It's like: The nerve of those people - wanting to live.

Must be making Dave feel insecure about himself.

4. My definition of republican: one with a glorious lack of empathy.

And this douchebag easily fits that description.
