During Tuesday's Hot Topics segment on
ABC's The View, co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Rosie O'Donnell,
Rosie Perez and Nicolle Wallace applauded a Supreme Court decision to
allow rulings striking down gay marriage bans in five states to
stand, effectively legalizing such unions in 11 states.
O'Donnell, who is married to Michelle
Rounds, called the decision “very wonderful.”
“You know what was amazing is how
quiet the Republicans were,” Perez said.
“Change is coming. … You cannot
stem this tide,” Goldberg said. “It is coming whether you're
comfortable with it or not.”
“For all of you folks who are deep
Christians, as I recall as a child – I went to a Catholic school,
you know – I remember Jesus had a lot of different kinds of
friends. Jesus never turned anybody away. I'm just saying,” she
added.
