Yes, yes, yes, we all know Gingrich is NOT for gay marriage. But he thinks that an evil (gay marriage) can be legitimated by the political process. Substitute slavery for gay marriage and see how this sounds. This is precisely why his statement made news in the Wall St. J. You need to take issue either with the writers of the Wall St. J article or have Gingrich retract what may have been a misimpression but don’t defend the indefensible.
He isn't "legitimating" gay marriage any more than he is advocating it. Claiming otherwise is distorting what he said... I think that is evil.
