I wonder if his followers will agree?

Hell Freezes Over As Glenn Beck Endorses Marriage Equality

It’s safe to say that Glenn Beck has been one of the most extreme and certainly one of the most insane right-wing hosts in the media. I never thought I’d write something good about Glenn Beck, but, for a brief minute on Monday, Beck had a moment of sanity that is sure to generate fury from fellow conservatives.

During his radio program, Glenn Beck practically endorsed marriage equality, something not even a handful of Senate Republicans are willing to do. Beck stated that the fight for marriage equality is now about freedom, which is what America is all about, and that is why marriage equality proponents are winning the argument. But that wasn’t the end of it. At the conclusion of his short commentary on the subject, Beck called marriage equality a “principle” that “is right,” thus signaling that hell must have frozen over sometime in the last 48 hours.

BECK: “Why have we been arguing about marriage? We have been so foolish…it is not about gays, it is not about homosexuals, it is not about any of them. It is about freedom and the reason why they have won is because they have made it about freedom! And freedom, everyone basically understands freedom. That more freedom, not less, and so the argument has been ‘Who are you to tell me what I can and can not do?’ And by saying ‘Well because it always is! What’s happened?,’ you’ve lost, and by doing so, by not turning into it soon enough, what’s happened is you’ve been painted into a corner of a bigot! That’s why they have won, because the principle of it is right. The principle is easy to understand. Who are you to say?”

Glenn Beck has not exactly been a friend to the LGBT community over the course of his career, and the LGBT community hasn’t been particularly fond of Beck either. That may change given these recent statements. But now that Beck has said this wonderful thing about marriage equality, the only question is how long will it be before he reverses himself? I guess we’ll have to reluctantly stay tuned.

Nevertheless, Glenn Beck’s statement is a big score for marriage equality and it gives hope to same-sex couples and those who support marriage equality everywhere that perhaps soon, other conservatives will follow Beck’s example. After all, if Glenn Beck can reach a logical conclusion, or see the light, to put it in the Christian Right vernacular, so can others.

someone finally slapped some sense in his Head,and caused him to have some sort of Epiphany?

all that means is that people that are famous are keeping their real opinions to themselves... do you really think Beck is for gay marriage? he just wants ratings, not much else...

Beck is all about the money and will say anything for it. But, it will be interesting to see if his followers decide to follow his lead.

my gut is someone got something on him,,,LGBT community is very powerful

but I could also be wrong and its just his honest stance

good thing we are in a 'free' enough country to have differing opinions and to be free to state them,,,,,

we are all free to love and sex who we want we are not 'free' to demand government license and sanction those choices though,,,,

freedom and love are two buzz words that make anything sound good on the surface,,,,,if you can attach either of those principles to a cause (no matter how indirectly), you have a good way to gain support and silence opposers

I'm sure all the hicks are scratching their heads right now...

Marriage Will Never be a Right as long as the Government is Involved; I just won't play the Government's Game that One Needs to get a License (Permission) to be in a Committed Relationship.

When I got married, (For Relatives)it was in a Church, Mine & His Family (My Aunt, Uncle, Cousins) were there as Witnesses and we took Vows; But No License.

government doesnt have to validate marriage

marriage, bonding with someone else on your own terms,, is everyones 'right'

except children
