Congressman warns of gays in space

Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert addressed the US House of Representatives this week to warn against a threat we're sure no one had thought of before: gays in space. 

Gohmert was apparently trying to illustrate the disasterous consequences if the federal goverment was not allowed to discriminate against homosexuals should a handful of Americans be chosen to flee the planet and repopulate somewhere else. Gohmert's mashup of the Holy Bible and The Martian envisioned a spaceship Noah's Ark that had to include homosexuals out of political correctness. And what good would they be, not wanting to reproduce? (Apparently neither in vitro fertilization technology nor turkey basters would be on board)

This is his argument: 

I really wonder how many people in this body who had the ultimate power to decide whether the human race would go forward or not… Whether it was an asteroid coming, something that would end humanity on earth, as dinosaurs were ended at one time… Ok we’ve got a spaceship that can go, as Matt Damon did in the movie, plant a colony somewhere, we can have humans survive this terrible disaster about to befall. If you could decide what 40 people you put on the spacecraft that would save humanity, how many of those would be same sex couples? You’re wanting to save humankind for posterity, basically a modern day Noah, you have that ability to be a modern day Noah, you can preserve life, how many same sex couples would you take from the animal kingdom and from humans to put on a spacecraft to perpetuate humanity and the wildlife kingdom?

Is there any way we can send Gohmert on a one way rocket trip somewhere far, far away?
