Last week, we learned about the stirring tale of the gay plane that couldn’t fly on Twitter. What fresh hell might this new week bring, you ask? Well, I have an answer. Just one week after comparing gay marriage to a weirdly-built plane, conservatives are now comparing gay marriage to a weirdly-built seatbelt. Because of course they are.

Ah yes, the old seatbelt argument. A sound one to be sure! Republicans remain completely defined by an obsession with genitals, which is why nearly every day we receive the new gift of a totally unhinged meme that’s supposed to be some sort of eye-opening metaphor for all us sinners. When Matt Bernstein posted today’s latest gem, screams erupted from each and every corner of the gay Internet, accompanied by the corresponding Jurassic Park screenshots.

One user pointed out a handy loophole in this “argument.”

Seatbelts do not equal biology, and apparently this is something that needs to be explained:

Somebody even made a mock-up of last week’s “gay marriage just won’t fly” comic to prove that it’s not even true.

On another note…are Republicans alright? You know…in bed?

conservative homophobic metaphors so often reveal how bad at sex they are and it’s hilarious

I guess we already knew the answer to that one going in.
