North Dakota republican says gays are "metally ill..."

Are they sick of hearing metal music?

And what is a "homisexual?"

SCOTUS Legalizing Marriage Equality Was a Victory for the Mentally Ill, Says North Dakota Legislator

July 1, 2015 by Camille Beredjick 83 Comments

The Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage was a huge win for people who believe in justice and dignity — otherwise known as the “mentally ill,” or more specifically, the “metally ill,” according to North Dakota State Rep. Dwight Kiefert.

Kiefert expressed his utter disgust at the Supreme Court ruling in an incoherent, offensive, and factually flawed Facebook post on Friday.

He wrote:

Yea, gay marriage is legal in all 50 states. Great victory for the METALLY [sic] ILL!!!!! Oh, but wait, homisexuals [sic] were taken off the mentally ill list in 1973….Anybody know why????? I’ll give you a clue, not because of any study or research… Google it!!!

The other part scares me that nitwits like this get elected.
