Huckabee: Gay People ‘Can Be My Friends’

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) said on Sunday that even though he opposes gay marriage for religious reasons, he has plenty of gay friends — just like he has friends who drink, curse and enjoy ballet.

“This is not just a political issue, it’s a biblical issue,” he said. “It’s like asking somebody who’s Jewish to start serving bacon-wrapped shrimp in their deli.”
