Corbett Compares Gay Marriage to Incest

· Leave a Comment

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett (R) compared gay marriage to incest in a television interview, the AP reports.

Corbett was asked about a statement his lawyers made in a court filing in August comparing gay and lesbian couples to children, as neither may legally marry in Pennsylvania.

Corbett, who previously called that statement inappropriate, now says he thinks “a much better analogy would have been brother and sister, don’t you?”

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
