Montana Formally Decriminalizes Gay Sex

Reason

Montana Governor Steve Bullock has signed a bill removing a law from the books that classified gay sex as a felony. Gov. Bullock chose not to speak long before signing the bill saying, "…the longer I talk, the longer this unconstitutional and embarrassing law continues to stay on our books."

From Reuters:

(Reuters) - Montana's governor on Thursday signed into law a bill that formally decriminalizes homosexual sex, a move gay rights activists in the state called a watershed moment in their battle for equality.

The measure removed from the books a law classifying gay sex as a felony. It was struck down by the Montana Supreme Court 16 years ago and no longer enforced.

Now when will they change the law so a ranching man can do with his livestock what God intended on those long, cold, blustery winter nights?

They just did. Male sheep are now fair game.

Increases my opportunities by 100%. How is that baaaaaahd?

[Almanian!]

I think it's already legal to put animals in a barn or lean-to.

Oh, wait...

Go ahead Rasilio. We know you weren't the one who got babes sister pregnant. Not that you weren't trying.

Bullock is bullish on buttocks.

And I want it known right now that according to teh Google, this is the first use of that word in the history of mankind. You can tell your children of how you were there that momentous day.

[AlmightyJB]

A lot of backs are going to get broke in in the mountains.

Now that those fags have special rights, you watch 'em. I bet they'll be suing people for not have gay sex with them anytime now.

THEY ARE GOING TO SUE THEIR WAY INTO MY SWEET, TENDER BUTTHOLE!

THEY ARE GOING TO SUE THEIR WAY INTO MY SWEET, TENDER BUTTHOLE!

I KNEW it! I just didn't want to admit it.

I apologize to those whose basic intelligence I questioned.

[SugarFree]

I'm just worried about the caters and the flower shop owners.

[JW]

You'd think the flower shop owners would already be keen to the buttsecks.

Right? I'm always shocked when there's a problem with florists not wanting to do gay weddings. I used to work next to a florist and it was a little old white lady and three really attractive, very obviously gay men. Just about every florist I've ever had to walk into has been the same thing.

You call your butthole Sue?

This is exactly the legal opening my people were waiting for! Muahaha, the agenda will have its way with you yet!

[SugarFree]

I was all for gay sex, until I found out what it was really about. It's just a backdoor into legalizing buttabortions.

[BakedPenguin]

THINK OF THE BUTTBABIES!!

[JW]

And buttcisions! They want my delicious anusskin!

[Enough About Palin]

Well bugger my ass!
