Neurosurgeon Ben Carson apologized Friday for comments he made about gay marriage on Sean Hannitys TV show earlier this week.
I think in terms of what was said on Sean Hannitys show, that was taken completely out of context and completely misunderstood in terms of what I was trying to say, Carson told MSNBCs 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. Its a well-established fundamental pillar of society and no group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesnt matter what they are, they dont get to change the definition, the doctor, who is the director of pediatric neurosurgery, said on Hannitys 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.

...and it doesn’t sound like you are going to apologize either, huh? Good for you! I’m tired of people apoligizing to people who’s behavior offends me. These same people never apoligize to me because their behavior and discussion of same offends ME. Until they apoligize for their behavior, I see no need to apoligize for mine.
What did he actually say originally?
I am so sick and tired of conservatives who get intimated in apologizing when no apology is warranted.
I often feel like I’ve wandered into a dimension of hell with all the insane stuff that domineering people want me to not only accept as normal but want me to celebrate as normal. Unlike the minions I know right from wrong, good from evil and correct from incorrect.
Moer apologies than statements! My God get a life and stand by what you say!
Fence riders get a efin life and stand ground!
Is that too much to ask for!
Flip flop is the tenure of the day and it sucks big time!
No candidate for any office can stand the heat of election!
Appease me love me right or wrong or get out of the kitchen you nimble kneeded politicions!
I apologize for standing for the conservative movement, no back bone worms of the future! Yes we are dead no one to stand for affirimity!
I wrote on his FB page to not apologize. I guess he really didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but the truth is the truth and no one should ever, ever apologize for telling the truth!
I am beginning to feel like Diogenes.
hardihar
Placemark.
If I wasn’t, that would be gross =).
What a laugh. Carson simply spoke the truth. No one gets to change the cultural definition of marriage which has existed for thousands of years.
Carson is pilloried because the truth hurts?
Let the truth stand.All the laws passed in the world will not change it. Marriage is between one man and one woman.
The lefts war on Mr Carson is ramping up>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Carson is about to be Palinized. Now lets see what happens.
..—— Now lets see what happens.——
I think the man carries lots of verbal razors. He slices out with his super sharp words leaving a barely visible cut that oozes and then spurts blood. The opposition is bleeding to death before even being aware of the cut
The fast talking Barbie doll is there because of her looks and nothing else.
No doubt.
You can't get milk from a horse?
Sounds like the NASCAR word for Chevrolet.
I’d like to be able to defend Ben Carson, but first he has to agree to defend himself.
They're not "gays" they're:
DISEASE-RIDDEN, BOY-RAPING WHACK-JOBS!
You show me a packer, and I'll show you a contagious pederast with "issues". Just ask any one of them, "Do you have a shrink?"
