READ: GOP Platform Draft for “Traditional Concept Of Marriage”

This is grand. Buzzfeed has an exclusive look at the strong language about traditional marriage from the GOP Platform.

Here's a piece:
"We oppose the Administration's open defiance of this principle [of separation of powers] — in its handling of immigration cases, in federal personnel benefits, in allowing a same-sex marriage at a military base, and in refusing to defend DOMA in the courts," the draft states.

Finally, after praising the benefits of marriage, the draft documents state, "[W]e believe that marriage, the union of one man and one woman must be upheld as the national standard, a goal to stand for, encourage, and promote through laws governing marriage."
Here's the words in print

So guess who takes credit for the language... yes, bitches... Tony F**king Perkins.
He said:
“You should read the entire plank on marriage, which I wrote. I feel very happy about it. I feel pretty optimistic about the outcome here.”

I wish Tony Perkins would just go find a creepy motel and his mother's countriest dress and go sit in it! :(
