It's time to take your book of fantastical stories out of government. Oh, and don't forget, Gibbons is no poster boy for traditional marriage values.

I can't remember the exact quote, but essentially he said you can drop $20,000 at the craps table then marry a hooker you met at a brothel in a drive-thru wedding chapel...but having same-sex marriages would make Nevada seem <i>sleazy</i>.

I mean the mormons said that they would support civil unions and domestic partnerships, just not same sex marriage. Right? So, what am I missing here?!?!
