Dr. Ben Carson, a pediatric
neurosurgeon at John Hopkins University and a conservative celebrity,
has described gay marriage foes as the real victims of “injustice.”
Carson made his remarks last week in
addressing an audience of anti-gay marriage activists gathered in
Washington D.C. for the National Organization for Marriage's (NOM)
March for Marriage gala.
“When we talk about liberty and
justice for all, doesn't that mean that people can be left alone,
that no-one else gets to change definitions on them and change life
for them?” he
rhetorically asked.
“They have no right to say to me that
I must change the way I think in order to accommodate what they
believe. That's where the injustice comes from, and we have to
understand that.” (The video is embedded on this page. Visit

Despite his claim that gay rights
opponents want to “be left alone,” Carson warned that Marxists
are using LGBT rights to destroy the United States and impose the
“New World Order,” as explained in W. Cleon Skousen's book The
Naked Communist.
