Last night, Stephen Colbert said he agreed with Colorado Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck, who recently compared being gay to alcoholism. “Yes,” Colbert said, “being gay is like alcoholism. Too much and you have a problem. But there’s nothing wrong with social gayness, I mean, in moderation.”

He added that he hopes liberals don’t attack Buck and others like him for “being politically opportunistic election-year gay-baiters. They can’t help it, they were born that way.”
