Not to be outdone by the Archdiocese in targeting the LGBT community, the Minnesota Family Council is bringing in Mike Huckabee, the former Arkansas governor who thinks same-sex relationships are akint o drug abuse, polygamy, and incest.
Huckabee will headline a fundraising dinner for the Minnesota Family Council on April 26th at the Minneapolis Hilton starting at 5:30 pm.
And just this weekend, Huckabee found himself in a bit of hot water over an interview he gave to The Perspective, a newspaper at the College of New Jersey.
Here’s the anti-LGBT part:
Huckabee went on to draw parallels between homosexuality and other lifestyles that are considered by some to be morally aberrant. “You don’t go ahead and accommodate every behavioral pattern that is against the ideal,” he said of same-sex marriage. “That would be like saying, well, there are a lot of people who like to use drugs, so let’s go ahead and accommodate those who want to use drugs. There are some people who believe in incest, so we should accommodate them. There are people who believe in polygamy, so we should accommodate them.”
He also affirmed support for a law in Arkansas that prohibits same-sex couples from becoming adoptive or foster parents. “I think this is not about trying to create statements for people who want to change the basic fundamental definitions of family,” Huckabee said. “And always we should act in the best interest of the children, not in the seeming interest of the adults.”
“Children are not puppies,” he continued. “This is not a time to see if we can experiment and find out, how does this work?”
