Of course the piety of someone who would ask presidential candidates to sign a 14-point marriage fidelity pledge is always nice to see. Take a look at the family-friendly humor of FAMiLY LEADER's Bob Vander Plaats.
[I]n new video footage obtained by ThinkProgress, Vander Plaats goes even further in cementing his strong dislike for gay people. During an event in Audubon, Iowa in March of 2011 Vander Plaats explained that many Iowans were concerned about the state becoming "the butt of jokes" in the aftermath of a state Supreme Court decision which found that a law prohibiting same-sex marriage was unconstitutional. He was then interrupted by an attendee who recalled a joke his wife tells about the "fags" marrying in Iowa law and erupted in laughter:ATTENDEE: You know what my wife says? She says: Iowa, the state where you can't smoke a fag but you can marry one.
[Laughter]
VANDER PLAATS: Oh shoot, that's pretty good, that's pretty good. Oh shoot.
