not something to be proud of

Huckabee: I’m not ‘pro-gay.’

During the presidential campaign, far-right conservative columnist Ann Coulter made a hobby of criticizing former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee as insufficiently conservative, including claiming that the virulently anti-gay Huckabee was “pro-sodomy.” This past Saturday, when Huckabee hosted Coulter on his Fox News show, he tried to rebut her charges, declaring the he was not “pro-gay”:

HUCKABEE: I am not, as you characterized me in one article, pro-gay, pro-sodomy. That is so not me.

COULTER: Yes, there was a Supreme Court decision. You said you agreed or disagreed with. Yes, I got you on that Mike Huckabee.

HUCKABEE: Nope. You didn’t. I am definitely not pro-sodomy. I promise, scout’s honor.

As ThinkProgress has previously noted, as governor of Arkansas, Huckabee pushed an amendment to ban sodomy in the state in order to “protect the traditional family structure.”

Whatever happened to minding your own business?
