Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, an outspoken foe of gay marriage, said Tuesday that he’s had plenty of gay friends.
“I’ve had many friends who are homosexual,” Moore said during an interview with John Heilemann and Mark Halperin of Bloomberg Politics. “I’ve treated people just like other people. This is not about how I treat people, or how I go to a wedding or a marriage or anything. It’s about the constitution of Alabama and the Constitution of the United States.”
“You wouldn’t be reluctant, personally, to go to a same-sex wedding, then?” Halperin prodded.
“I would not go to a same-sex wedding,” Moore responded. “No.”

As a gay man, I want to say that I’m fed up with the likes of Moore and Huckabilly claiming that they have all these gay friends. I betcha they’re all invisible 6 foot rabbits. And I will also add, that even though these two (and so many other) idiots claim to have gay friends, has anyone ever noticed that those gay friends never seem to materialize? What self-respecting gay person would ever consider their actions and words to be those of a friend? (And I said self-respecting, which totally negates any gay Republican.)
You have many friends , who you are actively trying to deny equal rights to. You also have many friends whose friendship would still not matter enough to you to attend what I imagine would be a major milestone event in their lives. Weird definition of friendship he seems to have.
He doesn’t have a clue>
I have many negroid friends too.
(rolls eyes)
And once I learned they’re gay, I dropped them like a hot potato - hence the past-tense.
