Slate: Worst Argument Ever against Gay Marriage — Pocahontas and John Rolfe?

Hubba wha?

Here, “The Worst Argument Ever Made Against Gay Marriage” by David S. Cohen.

An excerpt:

I won’t hide the ball here, so here it is: Gay people should not be able to get married because Pocahontas married John Rolfe.

This argument was actually made in federal court Tuesday, before the judges of the Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Virginia. They were hearing a challenge to Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage. The argument is hands-down the worst argument ever offered against same-sex marriage.

A link to the oral argument is here.
