If you like anal sex and open relationships now, just wait until gay marriage is legalized. Once that good day in America finally arrives, are y'all in for a treat, according to University of Texas professor Mark Regnerus. Regnerus - previously known for his impressively one-dimensional and incorrect research on the effects of having gay parents - now has news about gay marriage.
You might have assumed that allowing homosexual people to get hitched would simply allow them a right that it is incredibly stupid is still being denied many places in this country, including the great state of Texas. Well, Regnerus claims there is more at stake than that. Namely, your derriere, ladies, and your ability to be allowed to have sex with everything from zoo animals to window blinds, gentleman.
In an hour-long speech at the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio, Regnerus informed his listeners that gay marriage should matter to them because no one will be monogamous ever again and all straight couples will feel free to stick their fun-time parts into all kinds of new places once gay marriage is legal. An excerpt of the speech was posted by blogger Jeremy Hooper, wherein Regnerus detailed his, shall we say, "concerns":
Obviously, heterosexual relations today are only conducted in the missionary position and all women are against novelty of any kind, and have never thought of -- let alone suggested -- having anything inserted in the anus. Also, according to Regnerus, only gay people have open relationships or ever cheat on their spouses or significant others. But he claims this is all about to change because people, especially men, will see happy gay couples tying the knot and immediately jump to anal sex and talking their significant others into letting them have sex with other people.

(5,043 posts)Is that marriage equality will bring a greater sense of stability and social legitimacy to the LGBT community, thereby decreasing the sense of loneliness and being outcast, and thus reduce the number of alienated young men this professor can more easily pick up in airport bathrooms and such.
If gay men feel that long term love, commitment and marriage are as equally possible for them as their straight brothers, how are guys like Prof Regnerus ever going to get laid?

In 1998, two homosexual men were arrested in Houston for engaging in sex and the case went up to the SCOTUS which struck down the Texas sodomy law in Lawrence v. Texas. The GOP is still upset by this ruling and the Texas GOP used to have a plank in their party platform to reinstate the Texas sodomy law.

(9,117 posts)You know, I can't help but wonder if Professor Regnerus believes that all right-thinking married heterosexual couples only use the missionary position--and then ONLY to conceive children--and then wear chemises de cagoule while they're performing the act.
For the benefit of random lurkers, use your search engines to look up 'chemise de cagoule' or 'chemise cagoule.' I think that such a side-trip would provide interesting insights into the minds of Perfesser Regnerus and his ilk.
