Gohmert Addresses Gay Marriage

WASHINGTON, D.C. — East Texas Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert isn’t shy about his opposition to same-sex marriage. According to Gohmert, Supreme Court justices said a few years ago that they didn’t see any biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman. Gohmert commented, “They need some basic plumbing lessons.” The Tyler-based lawmaker spoke at an event hosted by the Heritage Foundation. On Tuesday, a federal judge declared Oklahoma’s ban on same-sex marriage to be unconstitutional. A similar decision was handed down in Utah last month, but the Supreme Court has since put that ruling on hold.
