TiVo alert: Huckabee does Banks

Quick TiVo alert: Tyra Banks interviewed Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee in early Feburuary, and the interview is scheduled to air on “The Tyra Banks Show” this Friday, February 29.  Banks discussed a few gay issues with Huckabee, and made it clear she was doing so because the gays loved her so much...Here's a sample of what they discussed. 

BANKS:  Do you want the gay vote?

HUCKABEE:  Sure, I want every vote.  Seriously, I want to be president    of everybody.  And I can disagree with people over a choice they make in their life or a over a lifestyle, and still be their president and still say I want to keep you free, I want to keep your country safe, I want to make your taxes lower not higher.  I want to solve some issues like the problems we have in education, and rebuild our health care system and I think whether a person is straight or gay, they want a president who is solving issues, not just pointing out differences among people.

BANKS:  What if they say, I want to vote for you Governor Huckabee, but I'm a gay man and I want to marry my man. What do you say to that?

HUCKABEE:  To change the definitions of institutions like marriage is beyond saying, if people want to live a life that's different than others, that's fine but when you redefine basic institutions of marriage, government, whatever they may be that's when we really should have a pretty thorough public discussion about it.

BANKS:  You're open to a public discussion at least?

HUCKABEE:  I think we're having that.  Whether or not we should change the rules and marriage and redefine it someway, I'm not comfortable with that.

BANKS:  Comfortable or opposed?

HUCKABEE:  Opposed.  I think it's something that is not a good thing.  I go back to the point the a marriage ought to be, the context in which two people not only have, they may not have children but have the capacity and ultimately to train replacements and create the kind of environment in which people are able to thrive.

BANKS:  I'm asking you some many questions about this because I love the  gays and the gays love me. And I know I cannot walk down the street here in New     York City if I didn't press that issue and truly ask you that.

HUCKABEE:  I think you should. I think people will respect my views on that, I respect theirs.  The great thing about America is we can have totally different viewpoints and we can do it without having animosity, and hatred.  This is one of the great countries where you can have sharp disagreements without killing each other over it.  That's where I think we need to celebrate what is great about America and that is we all don't have to agree.

That's perfectly right. Each one on earth need marriage to prove their love and it is a proof that their great love can be accepted by all people in the world. "That is love, It shows our heart is full of love. We wanna love and be loved and spoiled" one of my bisexual friends knew at http://www.bimingle.com said on her blog. That's why all LGBT love finding the right match online altought some people regard them as special one.
