\n

Q:<\/strong> In the last month, same-sex marriage has become legal in Iowa and Vermont. What do you think about same-sex marriage at a state level?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Un…<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Joe The Pumber:<\/strong> At a state level, it’s up to them. I don’t want it to be a federal thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Deux…<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

I personally still think it’s wrong.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Trois…<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

People don’t understand the dictionary—it’s called queer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Quatre…<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Queer means strange and unusual.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cinq…<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

It’s not like a slur, like you would call a white person a honky or something like that.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Six…<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n

You know, God is pretty explicit in what we’re supposed to do—what man and woman are for.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sept…<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n

Now, at the same time, we’re supposed to love everybody and accept people, and preach against the sins.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Huit…<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n

I’ve had some friends that are actually homosexual.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Neuf…<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n

And, I mean, they know where I stand…<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dix… <\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n

…and they know that I wouldn’t have them anywhere near my children.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Onze…<\/em>\n<\/p>\n

\n

But at the same time, they’re people, and they’re going to do their thing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
