Neurosurgeon Ben Carson apologized Friday for comments he made about gay marriage on Sean Hannity’s TV show earlier this week.
“I think in terms of what was said on Sean Hannity’s show, that was taken completely out of context and completely misunderstood in terms of what I was trying to say,” Carson told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell. “As a Christian, I have a duty to love all people and that includes people who have other sexual orientations, and I certainly do, and never had any intention of offending anyone… If anyone was offended, I apologize to you.”
The John Hopkins doctor came under scrutiny when he appeared to liken homosexuality to pedophilia and bestiality, sparking the outrage of the LGBT community.
“My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman. It’s a well-established fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn’t matter what they are, they don’t get to change the definition,” the doctor, who is the director of pediatric neurosurgery, said on Hannity’s show Tuesday.
His comments also led to a petition by students at Johns Hopkins University, who want him to be removed as commencement speaker, as was initially planned. Students, colleagues and the media alike have harshly criticized Carson for his choice of words.

The eight Medical Students that want to forbid Dr. Carson from speaking at their Commencement are probably going to end in a Specialized Practice, Proctology.
After all, they need to expand their Customer Base.
I wouldn’t have apologized either. He mentioned them all together for a reason. I assume he may actually be interested in running for office and thought he had to split hairs here.
LOL. I wouldn’t doubt it.
” That is precisely what I say to fag hags and others I know
They don’t want to hear it”
Well, they will hear it from the two of us : )
HOW DARE YOU use gays in a series that also includes kid-diddlers and poodle-pumpers?!?
That’s basically all he did. He was not saying homosexuals were precisely like pedophiles and sheep-shaggers.
LGBT must be chock full of low-info voters.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
the feces stuff is coprophilia, and I’m not sure it’s exclusive to the hommosexual crowd. #kink
There are times and places for apologies, but this ain’t one of them!
