And I think you're full of it. Here is the sentence from the article that Veronic posted:
He also called last month for "a tolerant nation" on gay rights."
And here is what Fred actually said:
Gay rights? I think that we ought to be a tolerant nation. I think we ought to be tolerant people. But we shouldn't set up special categories for anybody.
So Fred says he doesn't think there is "gay rights" per se - there should be no special categories. That is diametrically opposite of what the Newsmax article (and veronica) said.
