Michael Reagan has defended
controversial statements he made against the legalization of gay
marriage.
In an appearance on CNN's Piers
Morgan Tonight, Reagan, the adopted son of former President
Ronald Reagan, told host Piers Morgan that he stood by his op-ed
which appeared in the Ironton Tribune.
“Ultimately about changing the
culture of the entire country; it inevitably will lead to teaching
our public school kids that gay marriage is a perfectly fine
alternative and no different than traditional marriage,” Reagan
wrote. “There is also a very slippery slope leading to other
alternative relationships and the unconstitutionality of any law
based on morality. Think about polygamy, bestiality, and perhaps
even murder.”
“I think it does send a slippery
slope,” Reagan said on the program. “I think if you accept the
redefinition of marriage then you're going to have to accept the
redefinition all the way down the line.” (The video is embedded on
