What surprised me is whoever is controlling The Indianapolis Recorder's Facebook account is actively part of the debate. The individual compares same-sex marriage to an adult marrying a 13 year old child, and asks where do "we as a society draw the line between right and wrong?". The Recorder also goes on to state that in some states, it is legal for a child to marry an adult.
I was frankly surprised to see this level of bigotry and ignorance expressed on a media outlet's account. I'd expect to see it from individuals commenting on the posts, just because that's how people roll on the Internet, but not from the media outlet itself.
I wonder, if questioned about these comments, if the Recorder will stand by them.
You can view one of the posts here if you don't have a Facebook account.
The fearmongers who holler about the slippery slope of a man marrying his horse conveniently forget that marriage is a CONTRACT and horses (or dogs or box-turtles or children) can't make contracts.
