    It’s strange how these people always and consistently fall short of the values they’re trying to force on others.

    There’s one of those dropkicks in the Australian parliament. One of those staunch conservative, deeply catholic people. Was dead set against same sex marriage because ‘it devalues traditional marriage’. One day it came out that he’d been cheating on his wife and the mother of his four children with a woman half his age (he was nearing sixty at the time). Not only did he get his mistress pregnant, he also set her up with a cushy job in parliament.

    His response when questioned about all this in relation to his claims about gay marriage: “I never said I was a saint.”
