Gohmert: Judges Ruling In Favor Of Gay Marriage Need 'Basic Plumbing Lessons

CAITLIN MACNEAL – JANUARY 15, 2014, 1:38 PM EST

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) on Tuesday said that judges who have struck down state bans on same-sex marriage, like those in Utah and Oklahoma, need "basic plumbing lessons."

Gohmert said that these judges are denying the biological reasons for restricting marriage to between a man and a woman.

"'Basically, we haven't seen any biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman,'" he said, summarizing the judges' rulings during a Heritage Foundation event, according to Roll Call.

And so the Texas representative said that the judges "need some basic plumbing lessons."

I'd say the better solution would be to give Republicans basic plumbing lessons. That way, when they get voted out they'll have a trade.
