It hasn’t been hard to find them, but it has been incredibly hard to narrow down just the ten daftest comments of the marriage equality debate so far. Read on about honorary whites, old aunties and loveless marriages. In no particular order: "If you get married, who will be identified as husband, and who will be identified as wife?" - National MP Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi (above) to John Jolliff and Des Smith during submissions to the Select Committee. “How they are going to produce the child? They need male and female for that.” - Bakshi again, this time to visiting GLBT rights advocate Boris Dittrich. “You have to have a contest of ideas, and it shouldn’t be demeaned into a contest that ‘I like women’.” - Former MP John Tamihere (above) thinks Labour is too obsessed with issues like marriage equality, and complains he is discriminated against for being straight. Allowing gay people to marry would be like calling the New Zealand Maori rugby team "honorary whites." - Former MP Gordon Copeland (above) in his oral submission. "It's just not intelligent to pretend that homosexual relationships are normal.” - Conservative Party leader Colin Craig (above). “Equality in my view does not require that we all be the same, or that we are necessarily treated the same in all respect.” - Colin Craig, again. "I'm not a homosexual. I think probably most people would know that." - Colin Craig yet again. “Colin you should stand here because John Key is too gay for Helensville.” - Something Colin Craig claims a resident of the pro-Marriage Equality PM's Helensville electorate told him. "A homosexual cannot now legally marry. But neither can a whole lot of other people. A five-year old boy cannot marry. Three people cannot get married to each other. A married man can’t marry another person. Two old aunties living together cannot marry. A father cannot marry his adult daughter. A football team cannot enact group marriage - the list is endless.” - Bob McCoskrie (above) of conservative Christian lobby group Family First. "Love doesn’t play any role in actual marriage ... you don't have to actually love someone in order to marry them." - Coast Community Church spokesman Paul Barris tried to dispute the 'marriage equality is about love' school of thought.
