BEN CARSON ‘ABSOLUTELY’ WILLING TO STEP DOWN AS COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER AFTER GAY MARRIAGE COMMENTS

Johns Hopkins pediatric neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson said Friday he is “absolutely” prepared to step down as commencement speaker for the university’s medical school after controversial remarks he made this week about gay marriage.

Carson apologized for any offense taken by his comments, when he was accused of comparing gay relationships with pedophilia and bestiality during an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday.

“Marriage is between a man and a woman,” Carson said on “Hannity”. “It’s a well-established, fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality — it doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to change the definition.”

If there was anyone I thought would be off limits to the democrat Progressive lies it was Dr. Carson--the Democrat leftist is truly a mental disorder.

Dr. Carson is about values,
having dignity and honesty.
Right and wrong.
Bestiality, homosexuality and pedophilia certainly are not right and do not deserve "rights" to practice perverted acts and seek mainstream acceptance.
With freedom comes responsibility to protect the honor of culture and socially accepted norm's.
Resistance to these detrimental forces is necessary to keep society on a moral path.
It is time to restore decency and value based education, not the free for all that public school has become.

Dr. Carson is right in what he says.

This man is truly a man of God, and is so right that marriage should be between a man and a woman only. He is the smartest physician in his field and is world recognized for his ability.
Many others should take an example from him and follow in his footsteps, then maybe we would not have so many people using the system!!!!!!!

If he doesn't speak than it is the graduates who lose out. He is an inspiration and a wealth of information. It's getting to the point whereas before I could careless about anyone's sexual preference.
Now hearing this kind of stuff can turn someone into a homophonic.
This man has a right to an opinion same as anyone else.
If gays do not like it then it's real simple-don't listen but to attempt to deny other graduates the right to hear him speak is immature among other things.
It's gotten to the point where I think these gays haven't grown up. Between Ireton's fits, running from the cops just like a high school kid does and now this!

Why is it that when someone voices their opinion about same-sex marriage being immoral and unnatural, it's controversial when it is IN FACT...immoral and unnatural???

This all boils down to weak parents who instead of teaching their children that words will never hurt you if you refuse to allow them to, have taught that words will hurt you.
They in turn have created weak children who take offense to anything and everything.

OK, if your only reason for being against gay marriage is because of the Bible, or any other reason that doesn't require you to think for yourself, you are an idiot. I mean, come on, let people get married if they want to get married. It doesn't affect you! You will not wake up the next day with the world crumbling around you if gay people suddenly are getting married.

There are some truly awful, stupid, immoral people in this world that can get married anytime they like. Who cares if gay men and women want to commit to each other in the same way?? Again, IT WILL NOT AFFECT YOU!!

People that use their religion or holy scripture as their basis for being against it are missing the point completely. Using those outdated principles as a crutch is only spewing general hate at an entire group of people, which I'm pretty sure would be against your precious holy values. Get over your own fears and idiocy and let everyone just be happy without your own pretentious brain get in the way! Who made you so important that you get to stand in judgement? Any of you? "But the BIBLE SAYS!!" Oh? That book that's been misinterpreted and re-translated and re-written by white kings on their own whims?

One book doesn't get to deny a whole group anything, sorry.

Have you sat down and read the entire Bible because if you had, this comment would Not have been written. Do you Not believe in GOD and his son, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. If you do not, I'll pray for you.
