Texas Gov. Rick Perry: “Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me…”

Last week in Aspen, Colorado, Gov. Rick Perry of Texas addressed New York’s new same-sex marriage law by saying “That’s New York, and that’s their business, and that’s fine with me…”

In his first interview on the issue since making those comments, Gov. Perry spoke with Family Research Council President Tony Perkins today to addresses the Aspen remarks, discuss the 10th Amendment’s application to marriage, and his support for a federal marriage amendment.

Gov. Perry commented:

“I probably needed to add a few words after that ‘it’s fine with me,’ and that it’s fine with me that a state is using their sovereign rights to decide an issue. Obviously gay marriage is not fine with me. My stance hasn’t changed.”

I have to put the blame on FRC for this. If you put your pets on a long leash, they're liable to wander all over the place before you can yank them back to your side...

4. rumor has it...

his wife discovered him in bed with another man. No way to know for sure, but some of these people doth protest too much.

6. I sometimes think that those who scream the loudest homophobic rants....

Do so because they are closet homosexuals. They somehow think that because they could 'pray away the gay' and even be in a straight marriage that they can change who they are.

7. I feel sorry for those who are...

yeah, they are assholes for sure- but they have to live a miserable life.

[LynneSin]

9. They 'tolerate' their misery by making others miserable

:grr:

[awoke_in_2003]

10. you are right...

I probably shouldn't feel for them, but their is a smidgen of sympathy in me for them (even though I logically know they are assholes to the nth degree)

16. To be perfectly fair, he never said he objected to same gender adultery.

20. I heard she found Rick and his paramour in a hot tub nt

[Roy Rolling]

3. Yeah, the FRC gave him too much leash

Waht we need is a "candidate whisperer", one who rehabilitates politicians and trains voters.

11. Watch out Rick! Here comes Tropical Storm Don!

Which means that god hates bigots and assholes more than he hates homosexuals!

[okasha]

21. On the contrary,

it means God loves the parched south Texas ranchland that desperately needs this rain.

[smirkymonkey]

22. Not if the storm destroys everything in the process.

[saras]

13. Then don't marry a gay guy, Rick. It's kind of hard to do by accident...

[timtom]

17. Good one!

Love it!

14. Rick Perry, Meet Dan Savage.

I told him all about you, and he emailed me back to say that he is already well aware of the "Slay two homophobes with one moniker" possibility here. How's that succeeding from the union thing working out for ya,.......after all?
