Colbert Praises Nine Years of Same-Sex Marriage: It Led to More Adoption and Drop in Syphilis Rates

EXCERPT:

COLBERT: “Not only has gay marriage not been harmful, the study actually says that by extending marriage rights to a greater number of couples, interest in marriage increased for the broader population. I mean, it makes sense. Once gay people get into something, it always becomes a trend. Like 'RuPaul’s Drag Race,' the music of Lady Gaga, or dressing like you have a shred of self-respect. The report also found that after gay marriage was legalized, same-sex households adopted more children and there was a drop in the rates of syphilis. Well, sure. ’cause once you have kids in the house, there’s just no more time for anything fun, like movies or restaurants or syphilis.”
