Gay Marriage Has Far Ranging Ramifcations

gay_marriage.jpgAs hundreds of gay couples headed to California to take advantage of  a state declared right to be lawfully wedded, its impact could be felt in a rather unusual forum. The self-confessed mastermind of  the September 11th attacks appeared before a military tribunal last week and asked to be given the death penalty so he could become a “martyr.” Khalid Sheikh Mohammed told Col Ralph Kohlmann, a US military judge, that death was "my wish . . . I am looking to be martyred for a long time. I fought against the Russians [in Afghanistan] for a long time. Now it is maybe from you."

The Pakistan-born Kuwaiti also sang verses from the Koran, denounced the court at the US naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, as an inquisition and said he would represent himself.

"I will not accept any lawyer if they swear allegiance to the American constitution,” he said.  Why is he so opposed to the Constitution? For this, he had an answer that should sit rather uncomfortably at places like Fox News and the Family Research Council. “I am considering the American constitution evil laws in allowing for same sex marriage and many things that are very bad," he said.

If he thinks it’s bad you know its good.
