“Absurd” Arizona politician, JD Hayworth, says gay marriage leads to marrying horses [video]
”You see, the Massachusetts Supreme Court, when it started this, this move toward same-sex marriage, actually defined marriage — now get this — it defined marriage as simply, ‘the establishment of intimacy.’ Now, how dangerous is that. I mean — I don’t mean to be absurd about it, but I guess I can make the point of absurdity with an absurd point. I guess that would mean, if you really had affection for your horse, I guess you could marry your horse.”

Both men are Republicans, and though McCain does not support equality for the LGBT community, he at least has a daughter, Meghan McCain, who has become a outspoken Republican in support of gay marriage and gay rights.
