GOP Rising Star Has Trainwreck Of An Interview While Talking Gay Marriage On Fox Newsby Grace Wyler at Business Insider

"SNIP................................................
World renowned pediatric neurosurgeon and rising Republican star Ben Carson weighed in on the Supreme Court's landmark gay marriage cases this week, voicing surprisingly harsh opposition to same-sex marriage.
"My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman," Carson said in an interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity Tuesday. "It's a well-established fundamental pillar of society. And no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition."
"So it's not something that's against gays," he added. "It's against anybody who wants to come along and change the fundamental definitions of pillars of society. It has significant ramifications."

gay. They are born that way, just like straight people are born that way. Gee this man is in the medical field and there is no excuse for this kind of talk from a doctor who really knows better. What is it with the people when they become republicans and embrace the ignorance.
