Former Arkansas governor and Fox News
host Mike Huckabee laments having to see gay couples on television.
Last week, Huckabee welcomed Concerned
Women for America (CWA) president and CEO Penny Young Nance to his
radio show. While discussing CWA's Willing 2 Stand campaign, which
reaches out to college-aged conservatives, Nance said that young
people opposed to gay rights were being “bullied” on college
campuses.
Huckabee responded by saying that
“every fear that people had” about the consequences of marriage
equality “has in fact come true.”
“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, that's not the
issue,” Huckabee
said. “Will it force businesses – of course everyone will
say, oh no people still have their rights, but they don't. And every
fear that people had, has in fact come true. That this is being
forced in textbooks on how marriage is depicted. We're now even
seeing television commercials portraying same-sex couples. That's
something I guess I didn't expect to see anytime soon.”
