Michael Steele Is Not Anti-Gay
I can’t say that I’m Mr. Steele’s biggest fan. He flies off the cuff, his language is either casual or forcibly “chill.” He’s made a few statements that allowed the liberal media to paint him as yet another anti-gay leader of the GOP.
In an interview with GQ, Steele comes out yet again against gay marriage. Steele says, “… I believe that marriage—that institution, the sanctity of it—is reserved for a man and a woman.” Sure, he’s going to draw criticism for that sort of hard-line position. However, when you contextualize his quote, it’s not anti-gay at all. He’s for some sort of equality that those in a marriage enjoy, he understands that homosexuality isn’t a choice and best of all he believes that the marriage issue should be addressed by the states in accordance with the tradition that states are the ” best laboratory, the best place for those decisions to be made.” And that sounds pretty reasonable to me.
