Compare the picture on the left with the one on the right.

Of course, beyond that, let's take a moment to talk about bias based on appearance. Yeah, the couple on the left is pretty hideous but have you ever been to Alabama? There are heterosexual couples like this having kids every day and no one stops them. I've known many a mulleted couple who applied make-up with a trowel and one or two of them were even decent people aside from their appalling lack of fashion sense. ...
In fact, now that I think about it a little more... Isn't the far right potentially alienating their own largest demographic while at the same time going all metrosexual on them? ... Perhaps that saying about becoming what you hate has more truth to it than they realize. It would appear that they've already become fashion conscious. Oh dear!
