Sunday Burst of Weirdness

In comments to this Matthew Yglesias post, someone named Steve Sailer left one of the most bizarre arguments against gay marriage that I've ever seen:

Take gay marriage. It sounds like a great idea to you guys. Who could be against it? Nobody you know, right? But once it gets going and gays are getting married in big florid weddings each weekend, the upshot will be that the next generation of poor and working class young men will decide that getting married is ... gay, and the last thing they want is to be accused by their buddies of doing anything gay, so they'll do even less of it. And society will be worse off.


Huh?! If gays are allowed to marry, then young men will see marrying as something un-masculine? WTF?!

That has to be tongue in cheek. Doesn't it?

Wow, that's one I have not heard before. (And all those gays having sex have really put a damper on straight sex. Oooh, and driving. Definite trend.)
