...what do you really believe about gay marriage? Let me just lay it out for you, my members. My views have not changed in 30 years. I've been accused of equating gay partnerships with incest and pedophilia. I believe no such thing. You've never heard me in 30 years talk like that.

I've in no way ever taught that homosexuality is the same as a forced relationship between an adult and child or between siblings. I've never taught that in 30 years. I understand why people think that because of a recent BeliefNet interview. In that interview I named several other relationships such as living together, a man with multiple wives, a brother and a sister relationship, adults with children or common-law relationships. I don't think any of them should be called marriage. There should only be one definition: one man, one woman.
