    Ben Carson: LGBT don't get 'extra rights'

    WASHINGTON, D.C., January 13, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Dr. Ben Carson reiterated at his confirmation hearing Thursday that individuals identifying as LGBT shouldn’t get special rights.

    “Of course, I would enforce all the laws of the land,” Carson said. “Of course, I think all Americans should be protected by the law.”

    He then added, “What I have said before is I don’t think anyone should get ‘extra rights.’”

    Carson made the same point in a 2014 speech at CPAC, a major conservative conference, earning the ire of LGBT and gay “marriage” advocates the year before the June 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court ruling legalizing homosexual “marriage.”

    “Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else,” he said at the time. “But they don't get extra rights. They don't get to redefine marriage.”

    He faced backlash in 2015 for saying homosexuality was a choice. Later the same year when asked by a journalist if transgender individuals should be allowed access to the restroom of the opposite sex, he replied, "It is not fair for them to make everybody else uncomfortable."

    “I think everybody has equal rights, but I’m not sure that anybody should have extra rights, extra rights when it comes to redefining everything for everybody else and imposing your view on everybody else,” Carson said...
