VIDEO: Glenn Beck a Supporter of Gay Marriage Rights?

Glenn Beck is a supporter of gay marriage rights? Gay marriage rights are a hot item, and Fox News Glenn Beck talked about the topic when he debated with Bill O’Reilly on the subject matter.


Many think of Glenn Beck as a bat-crazy conservative, who’s ready to take America back to the 1700’s. While he is a conservative, there are arguments out there that he’s more of a fiscal conservative – not a social one.


Glenn Beck believes that individual churches – not the states – should decide who can and cannot get married. He claims that the government has no right to dictate who can and cannot marry.


This echoes many of Beck’s ideologies that the government doesn’t need to stick their nose into every social argument. Abortion is about the only thing that Beck believes a government has a right to dictate


As the gay marriage rights campaigns move forward – expect more out of states other than just California . Stars such as Cynthia Nixon in NYC have expressed interest that their states get the same rights as California .

Glenn Beck and Prop8: Library Removes Gay Book While Prop8 Overturned

Glenn Beck requested libraries to remove copies of the book, "Revolutionary Voices" is the name of the book, and Glenn Beck calls it "child pornography." Gay rights activists are pointing to the possibility that Beck's problem with the book lies in it being about same-sex relationships.

While libraries in New Jersey are removing "Revolutionary Voices" from their shelves, a judge thousands of miles away, in California, made a ruling that Prop8 is unconstitutional. Proposition 8 is the Gay Marriage ban that was voted into law in California. Appeals are expected.

So we have two opposite reactions to the Gay rights movement. On one hand, an anthology of first person accounts of same-sex relationships is getting removed from shelves of libraries during Glenn Beck's 9.12 program, while a Federal judge has ruled that a ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional.

Gay rights, immigration, health care, and unemployment are all going to play big roles in the upcoming elections. What do you think about Glenn Beck getting a book removed from libraries, and what do you think about the overturning of Prop8?
