Social conservative Bryan Fischer
claims that gay men and lesbians “already have full marriage
rights.”
Fischer, the host of the American
Family Association-sponsored radio show Focal
Point, made his comments during an appearance Tuesday on
the David Pakman Show.
“It's my contention that homosexuals
already have full marriage equality in all 50 states,” Fischer
said. “They can get married on exactly the same basis that anybody
else can get married: One adult, non-relative member of the opposite
sex. They got full marriage equality.”
Despite conceding that same-sex
marriage was gaining ground, Fischer insisted he would remain
opposed.
“The question is not going to be what
the result is by the end of this year or any other year,” Fischer
said. “The question is whether that result is right, whether that
result is in accordance with the laws of nature, and nature's god,
and whether that result is good for America. If it's not good for
America, and I don't believe it will be if that's the way it goes,
then it's incumbent upon us to fight for natural marriage. And we
will do that.” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit

In an earlier appearance on the show,
Fischer
refused to answer whether he's had gay impulses.
