The good news is that Ben Carson woke up momentarily from his three-hundred-year slumber to mumble incoherently about you. The bad news is that he didn’t have anything very nice to say. Apparently he thinks that future mass killings are coming, and they’ll be the fault of gay couples.
And really, that’s it. There’s no more context, no more explanation that makes it make sense. He was at the Pensmore National Symposium on Religious Liberty — of course, naturally it was a religious event — and he said that “there will be mass killings once again” because “the peace that we experience now will be only a memory.”
When pressed for details on the killings, he explained that it was because of “the whole gay marriage issue.” Uh huh. He went on:
“Why must they change it? I believe the reason is, if you can change the word of God in one area, then you can change it in every area. It’s the camel’s nose under the tent, and it will just be an avalanche of one thing after the other.”
Just to remind you: this is a man who got close enough to becoming president of the country that he was allowed in the big-kid debates. He’s still being followed around by reporters. He’s advising Donald Trump. He said that gay marriage causes polygamy. And even if Donald Trump didn’t exist, this is the kind of person considered credible by the Republican Party — or at least, what’s left of it. Remember that, gay Republicans, next time you’re trying to defend your party affiliation.

Then consider it cultural-appropriation of religion you dunce as marriage is bigger than religion and so now everyone should have a right to it. Simple.

From the article: “Just to remind you: this is a man who got close enough to becoming president of the country that he was allowed in the big-kid debates. He’s still being followed around by reporters. He’s advising Donald Trump.”
You added that just to insult black readers and you know it. Trump doesn’t even read speeches, let alone prepare for debates. He shoots from the hip, so why the hell would he listen to this clueless old coot? And I did say COOT. With a T at the end of the word.

By Muslim immigrants from Syria and other countries, yes I would not doubt that this could happen here both by the immigrants and the angry 1st gen American muslims living here just look at the guy in Orlando, he was a “moderate” Muslim.

I do not see anything in the article to suggest any intention to smear Black readers. BTW Bob, when you are using “Black” to refer to a specific group of people then it is a proper noun and just as Caucasian, Asian or Latin is capitalized then it should be as well. Your failure to do so shows an intent to insult Black readers here.
ErikO – no one cares about your obsession with Muslims. Muslims, like Jews, comprise a very small portion of the population of this country and also, both groups contribute a very small portion to the crime rate of the country. Christians however have been going around murdering large numbers of people for some time and with some enthusiasm. In fact it would not take much effort at all to go to say YouTube and look up all the different nut case Christian preachers there calling for the extermination of gay people. And when you were done with that you could go to Breitbart or any other alt-right website and inquire of the good folks there concerning how they like their gay people.

@ErikO: There will be more Orlando style massacres. Not because of gay marriage but because of the influx of Muslims pouring into this country – but most gays seem fine with that and they’ll get what they ask for.

@Baba Booey Fafa Fooey: The “influx of Muslims” pouring into this country…you mean the vetted refugee families that are fleeing war and terror created by ISIS and other extremists? FYI, they are grateful to be safe and are America’s strongest supporters. Get to know some of them and you will find out they are real people who just want to live their lives, raise their families and not face bombs and terror every day.

Umm… newflash, Benny Boy…humans have been constantly changing the moral and legal definition of marriage (the “Word of God,” as you would have it) ever since biblical times — you know, when adolescent girls were sold by their fathers as chattel to the highest bidder. Of course, most Republicans WOULD, in fact, prefer that we devolve to that biblical definition of marriage, but that would require unwinding the clock by centuries and going back countless numbers of “redefinitions” of marriage before we can return to a day when women were nothing more than indentured servants/cum dumps.

Oh my! I guess Benedina does not know us very well and based on his statement – “If you go to jail you become gay!” does not make a lot of sense when added to there will be a lot of mass killings. Maybe he is thinking that the mass killing perpetrators will be sent to jail and they will become gay and…..hmmmmmm…..another Ben Carson demented statement.
