Ben Carson Not A Homophobe? Not According To His History

Dr. Ben Carson claimed that opposing same sex marriage does not automatically make him a homophobe, but his past statements about same sex couples and equality prove that the doctor is, without a doubt, incredibly homophobic.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

Bigots like Carson think because they don't "support" murdering gays or 'tsk-tsk' calling us "faggots and dykes" that they aren't homophobes. And yet, that isn't the only test for homophobia and Carson's own words, along with his belief that gays aren't worthy of equal rights and claims we are trying to steal the mantle of "civil rights" from African-Americans, a popular belief among bigots like him, prove he is a rancid homophobe.
