Marco Rubio Says It’s ‘Ridiculous And Absurd’ To Think Gay Marriage Is A Constitutional Right

Watch as Marco Rubio pulls out all the stops and attacks hundreds of millions of Americans who believe same-sex marriage is a constitutional right.

In 2010, for the first time ever, CNN found the majority of Americans (52%) believed same-sex couples have a constitutional right to marry. Not just support same-sex couples who want to marry, but have a constitutional right. 

Those results have been confirmed in poll after poll since. In February, that number jumped to 63 percent.

This weekend, Tea Party Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio told those 63 percent of Americans – 201.6 million Americans, based on recent census numbers – that their beliefs are “ridiculous and absurd.”

“It doesn’t exist. There is no federal constitutional right to same sex marriage,” Rubio said, sitting down with Pat Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network Chief Political Correspondent David Brody. Senator Rubio repeatedly stated, “there isn’t such a right.”

“You’d have to really have a ridiculous and absurd reading of the U.S. constitution to believe that people have the right to marry someone of the same sex. There is no such constitutional right,” he repeated.

“Can a state decide to change their laws?,” Rubio queried. “Yes, but only through the political process.”

And the Florida freshman Senator went further, attacking the LGBT community and its allies.

Advocates of same sex marriage, he told Brody, “want to stigmatize, they want to ostracize anyone who disagrees with them as haters.”

“It’s very simple,” he explained. Banning same-sex marriage “is not a policy against anyone. I believe, as do a significant percentage of Americans, that the institution of marriage, an institution that existed before government, that existed before laws, that institution should remain in our laws recognized as the union of one man and one woman.”

Of course, every reputable poll over the past five years proves Marco Rubio wrong.

Now, about that invitation to a same-sex couple’s wedding, Senator…
