DYLAN SCOTT MARCH 8, 2014, 3:08 PM EST
Conservative favorite Ben Carson clarified on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference that gay people have rights -- they just don't have "extra rights" like the right to marry.
"As you know, I am not a fan of political correctness," Carson said to loud applause in a video clip pulled by Media Matters. "I still believe that marriage is between a man and a woman."
"Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else," he continued. "But they don't get extra rights. They don't get to redefine marriage."

(50,562 posts)...that the "special rights" gays want are the rights nongays have already? You'd hear screaming nonstop if straights could only marry who the government chooses, but that's what they basically want for gays.
