Daily Show Interview with Huckaby on Gay Marriage
This interview with Governor Mike Huckaby on why he opposes gay marriage is not to be missed. If nothing else, it is a demonstration of how bias trumps logic. Some people still do not seem to grasp the difference between religion and civil rights.
P. S. Each time the argument is brought forth that we must restrict marriage to one man and one woman because the "purpose of marriage is to produce children," I keep wanting to ask if those couples who choose not to reproduce (or perhaps cannot either because of age or physical limitations) should also be prevented from marrying. In addition, no one has demonstrated that gay marriages will in any way impact the right of heterosexuals to reproduce if that is their choice.
