20. But that's not what the Report meant
Al might have meant one thing, as most of us do, but the Report defined nuclear families as being under "married" couples.

So Al reads this defintion aloud and then asks the guy if there's anything that restricts it to straights, as if there is not. But there is: the restrictive term "married."

Since gay marriage is illegal in most places-- certainly when the report was compiled-- by necessity married means straight right now. Gay couples may get married of sorts, but they're not really married-- that's what the whole Judiciary Hearing was about !

Al totally screwed up on this one. He didn't realize that a defining term proved the Focus guy correct in his reference-- as far as it goes.

It was a HUGE gaffe that no one seems to have caught. Certainly no moment for gloating.
