Tony Perkins’ Kids Won’t Be Gay Because He’s ‘Teaching Them The Right Ways’

Tony Perkins last night told CNN’s Piers Morgan that his children won’t be gay because he is teaching them the right ways in life. The conversation was due to North Carolina passing the anti-gay Amendment One ban on same-sex marriage. Perkins, head of the certified anti-gay hate group Family Research Council, was promulgating the destructive myth that people can choose to be gay or straight. “I offered the nation’s first covenant marriage law. I have been working on marriage law for over 15 years,” Perkins told Morgan. “And the reason it’s important, Piers, quite frankly, is because public policy shapes the culture. And when we’re – what we’re talking about here is not shaping policy or creating policy based upon an individual here or an individual there, but what the social science tells us is best for society as a whole.”
