Huffington Post - Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear's administration is arguing the state's ban on same-sex marriage isn't discriminatory because it applies to straight people, too.
"Kentucky’s marriage laws treat homosexuals and heterosexuals the same and are facially neutral. Men and women, whether heterosexual or homosexual, are free to marry persons of the opposite sex under Kentucky law, and men and women, whether heterosexual or homosexual, cannot marry persons of the same sex under Kentucky law," the Democratic governor said in a brief filed with the Supreme Court on March 27.
In the brief, Beshear also argues "there is no fundamental right to same-sex marriage."
The Courier-Journal reports that Dan Canon, the lawyer representing the six couples challenging Kentucky's gay marriage ban, called Beshear's argument "especially absurd."

That's Democratic governor, not GOP. The discrimination-driven contradiction contagion is not contained.
A law making it illegal to vote for Steve Beshear would be facially neutral.
It wouldn't matter if you were male or female; black, white, hispanic or asian; gay or straight; baptist, catholic, buddhist or atheist.
Such a law would treat everyone the same.
So why isn't Governor Head-Up-His-Butt advocating it
