"“It’s going to wreak havoc within the God-ordained family structure,” said Matt Kline, 41, a fence builder and minister in his church district."
Fence builder reminds me of a joke:
Seamus walks sullenly into a bar and plops onto a stool. The bartender pours him a pint and places it in front of him, but Seamus just looks at it without taking a drink.
Bartender: What's eaten' ya Seamus?
Seamus: Ya see those houses over there? I put the roofs on all those houses.
Bartender: Okay
Seamus: Do they call me Seamus the roofer? No! Ya see that bridge over there? I built that bridge with me bare hands.
Bartender: right
Seamus: Do they call me Seamus the bridge builder? No! Ya see those stone walls over there? I built those walls with me bare hands.
Bartender: okay
Seamus: Do they call me Seamus the wall builder? No! But ya fuck _one_ sheep....
