6:14Now PlayingLouie Gohmert doesn’t think gay couples should be allowed in space. He believes that if the Earth is ending, we cannot afford to send gay couples to colonize other planets. Cenk Uygur, John Iadarola, Ben Mankiewicz, and Jimmy Dore, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) argued on the House floor Thursday that the strive for LGBT rights is a mistake because NASA would never send a gay couple into space (except for Sally Ride). We’d, especially, never send a gay person into space to colonize Mars like in the Academy Award-nominated film “The Martian” with Matt Damon.
In Gohmert’s mind, lawmakers were being forced to decide “whether humanity would go forward or not” in the event we had a “Deep Impact” scenario with an asteroid heading toward earth or even “Interstellar” where we’re dying off by killing our food supply.
Our only survival options would be to throw some people into a “spaceship that can go, as Matt Damon did in the movie, plant a colony somewhere, we can have humans survive this terrible disaster about to befall,” Right Wing Watch reported.”
