“I’m surprised the health department has not come out against this because we are going to have an HIV epidemic if this passes,” Trombley said. Then, he attacked the very idea of homosexual relationships, saying that the idea “blew his mind.” “You don’t see two male dogs sleeping in the same dog house together,” said Trombley.
