Adam Baldwin compares gay marriage to father-son marriage

Right ... because mothers marry their own sons and fathers have been marrying their own daughters for centuries now?

Logic fail.

Adam Baldwin is a douche.

Oops. My apologies to Adam Baldwin (not really).
And Best12bars for my hasty response!

Erik, this is Adam Baldwin, not Alec.

He's not related to the other (acting) Baldwins either.

I'm not even sure if he's related to the human species.

Adam Baldwin played Animal Mother in FULL METAL JACKET and was the title character in MY BODYGUARD. An appealing enough actor once -- sad to see he's just another Republican ass**** bigot.

From that article:

"‘What's wrong, now, with a father marrying his son for love & to avoid tax penalties?’ Baldwin tweeted 21 February."

Didn't Jeremy Irons say almost the exact same thing last year? (Though he didn't say anything about love. Irons seemed primarily concerned about taxes).

eta: Adam Baldwin was great as Jayne in the short-lived series Firefly. His politics are scary, though. Updated On: 2/24/14 at 10:02 AM

His hideousness was the first thing I thought of last night when somebody wished for a Firefly revival in another thread.

He is a notorious anti-Obama right-winger. His twitter reads like a madman's diary.

Yeah, it was pretty hilarious in my Chuck-watching days to see fans go through the cycle of, "Ooh, Adam Baldwin has a Twitter!" and then backing the hell out of there so fast they left smoke trails.

What's to stop any two people from marrying just for tax purposes (other than that I'd warn them that it isn't always cheaper to be married: my Obamacare insurance rates are much higher than they would be if my husband's income weren't added to mine in calculating costs)?

What do fathers and sons have to do with it?

(P.S. This isn't a complaint about Affordable Care which is still only half what I paid before. I was merely addressing the myth that marriage is always such a financial bonanza.)

Yeah, I immediately thought of the Jeremy Irons thing (I think he was also concerned with British titles being passed down that way?) It seems more conspiracy theory (and idiotic) to me than anything else. I guess by its very nature it's homophobic but inane is the main thing it strikes me as. I can't see this going over well with the Whedonites who loved him from Firefly.

(ANd exactly--why is this "suddenly" an issue because now men--and the issue seems to be about men--can marry other men for fraud? Wha?)

If Adam Baldwin were my father and he looked like he did when he was 30, I would TOTALLY have married him and shut his stupid mouth with my

^Ha! I actually had no idea he was such an idiot--nor had I read his twitter. Ignorance is bliss and all that.
