According to Hill News“What I have said before is I don’t think anyone should get ‘extra rights,’” he added.
Carson’s remarks mirror those from his 2014 CPAC speech: “Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else, but they don’t get extra rights,” Carson said at the time. “They don’t get to redefine marriage.”
Carson, a conservative Christian, has often run afoul of the LGBT community, suggesting they take advantage of “political correctness.”
During a 2015 speech to the Iowa Freedom Summit, Carson addressed religious freedom concerns raised by Christian bakers who argue it violates their faith to bake wedding cakes for gay people.
“[That] is really not all that smart, because they might put poison in that cake,” Carson joked.
