Huckabee: having to accept gay marriage is like telling Jews to serve 'bacon-wrapped shrimp'
Quote:
The Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee on Sunday said same-sex marriage was like drinking and swearing. The former Arkansas governor, appearing on CNN, said forcing people opposed to same-sex marriage to accept it was the same as telling Jews they had to serve “bacon-wrapped shrimp in their deli”.
Same-sex marriages occurred in Huckabee’s home state, Arkansas, in May 2014, but are currently on hold pending an appeal. The state banned the practice in a 2004 constitutional amendment that was approved by voters.
“For me … this is not just a political issue,” Huckabee said. “It is a biblical issue. And unless I get a new version of the scriptures it’s really not my place to just say, ‘OK, I’m just going to evolve.’”
Huckabee is currently promoting a book, God, Guns, Grits and Gravy. Huckabee said he appreciated different viewpoints on gay marriage and was friends with gay people.
Well if they're serving it then they're technically not eating it. I would assume many aspiring Jewish actors are caterers as their day jobs, and have served bacon-wrapped shrimps at an event. So, I guess Mike is ok with gay marriage. Thanks Mike.

The Republican presidential hopeful has zero chance. I have met him he really is a nice man, one of the most civil people you could talk to but he is just wrong on gay marriage.
Gay marriage will soon be legal in all 50 states anyway.
