Christian conservative Bryan Fischer
has criticized Ohio Governor John Kasich for attending the wedding of
a gay friend.
Kasich talked about the wedding from
Thursday's GOP presidential debate stage.
“I just went to a wedding of a friend
of mine who happens to be gay. Because somebody doesn't think the
way I do doesn't mean that I can't care about them or I can't love
them,” Kasich said in the course of responding to a question about
how he would explain his opposition to marriage equality to a son or
daughter if she or he were gay. He went on to say that he would love
his daughter if she were gay. His answer drew applause from the
audience.
“Really, the issue comes down to what
do you think of this kind of behavior,” Fischer
told his radio audience on Friday. “Is this good behavior? Is
this healthy behavior? Is this moral behavior? Is this the kind of
behavior that we ought to celebrate, that we ought to promote?”
“If you have somebody you love and
they were dealing crack and they were opening up a new crack house
and they were having a grand opening celebration and they invited you
to come and be a part of the grand opening celebration of this crack
house, would you go?” he rhetorically asked. “Of course not!”
