A Republican lawmaker in Minnesota on Wednesday responded to a new proposal that would legalize gay marriage in the state by calling homosexuality “an unhealthy, sexual addiction.”

“When we talk about gay marriage, we are not talking about an immutable characteristic, like the color of your skin,” Rep. Glenn Gruenhagen (R) said, according to the Star Tribune. “There is no gay gene. The concept that there is a gay gene is an unscientific lie.”
