U.S. Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas), the chief sponsor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, had a message for “every man in America” at Thursday’s “March for Marriage” rally in Washington: “Your woman, your wife, she needs you, it’s time you become a real man and stand up.”
Possibly under the impression that the legalization of same-sex marriage will break up opposite-sex unions, the Kansas Republican congressman emphasized that he loves his wife and believes that men who love their wives must join the fight to stop marriage equality.
“Be a real man of God because this is about you and your wife and your children,” he said.
