Showing Original Post only (View all)Mike Huckabee: “we’re now even seeing television commercials portraying same-sex couples” [View all]
Source: Salon
Former Arkansas Governor, nutritionist and Capitol Offense frontman Mike Huckabee is speaking out against the attacks against homophobic people. Hes tired of homophobes being told that their views are, well, homophobic. And hes tired of the homosexualist attack against heterosexuals.
Huckabee spoke with Concerned Women for America head Penny Nance about his concerns on the radio on Monday, saying,
The very thing that many people and I know CWA was a part of this, saying, this is why the legalization of same-sex marriage is going to be a much bigger issue than just saying we let people love whoever they want to love, thats not the issue. Will it force businesses of course everyone will say, oh no people still have their rights, but they dont. And every fear that people had has in fact come true, that this is being forced in textbooks on how marriage is depicted, were now even seeing television commercials portraying same-sex couples, thats something I guess I didnt expect to see anytime soon.
Huckabee is understandably distraught that hed live to see the day when some people started to see LGBT people as equals. It is troubling. More and more people are losing their god-given right to discriminate. Im not sure which commercials hes talking about, since I havent seen too many featuring the gays. But Will and Grace was bad enough. Nor am I sure about the textbooks. But I sure hate the homophilic message in And Tango Makes Three, the dangerous tale of gay penguin lust and child rearing.
