Those Wacky Heterosexuals

Video: Heterosexuals Stephen Colbert and Tony Perkins “discuss” same-gender marriage

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Professed heterosexual interviewer Stephen Colbert sat down with Tony Perkins, who is the president of the Family Research Council (an offshoot of James Dobson’s Focus on the Family), the author of the pro-theocracy book, Personal Faith, Public Policy, and an extremist, radical, in-your-face, super-het — a man who looks, acts and sounds gay — to discuss the California Supreme Court ruling handed down May 15 which affirms the equal right to civil marriage for same-gender couples.

A video of that entire segment of “The Colbert Report”, which aired on Comedy Central May 27 2008, is hosted here by PageOneQ.

“The bible says right there in Leviticus: Man shall not lie down with man! Now, most people think that refers only to sex, but I say you can never be too careful, which is why I always bring cubicle dividers to the beach.”

“Many are shocked and outraged,” Colbert continued. “I get the outrage, but shocked? That California is pro-gay? I assume these are the same people who were shocked when Elton John finally came out, even though he’d been wearing fuchsia sun goggles with windshield wipers for years.”
