Ross Levi, executive director of New York's Empire State Pride Agenda, and hate group spokesman Ken Blackwell of the Family Research Council discuss the 2012 election and whether or not same-sex marriage will be used as a wedge issue.
Watch last night's Hardball segment, AFTER THE JUMP...
Sean Hannity invited former Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell to a nutty panel about liberal bias on children's programming. Blackwell, as I've noted before when he was running for chair of the RNC, believes "homosexuality is a compulsion that can be contained, repressed or changed."
Blackwell pulls out the story that has freaked him out the most recently — that a gay student in Virginia was crowned Prom Queen last week — and tries to argue that it happened because Sesame Street has a liberal bias and somehow indoctrinated him at an early age.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Keith Boykin points us to some rather, well, unenlightened comments from Ken Blackwell, a Republican candidate for Governor of Ohio.
"I think homosexuality is a lifestyle, it's a choice, and that lifestyle can be changed. I think it is a transgression against God's law, God's will. The reality is, again...that I think we make choices all the time. And I think you make good choices and bad choices in terms of lifestyle. Our expectation is that one's genetic makeup might make one more inclined to be an arsonist or might make one more inclined to be a kleptomaniac. Do I think that they can be changed? Yes."
Not surprisingly, Blackwell is also against gay marriage and proud of the fact that gay marriage helped get George Bush re-elected. His family probably never had a gay either.
