Did Glenn Beck defend gay marriage to Bill O’Reilly last night?

Beck was on O’Reilly’s Fox News show, and O’Reilly asked why Beck doesn’t talk about gay marriage more on his show, and whether he thinks it’s a threat to America.

Beck’s response? “A threat to the country,” he repeated. “Will the gays come and get us?”

Quoting Thomas Jefferson, Beck said: ”If it neither breaks my leg, nor picks my pocket, what difference is it to me?”

Beck then said that “I think we have bigger fish to fry,” adding that marriage “is a religious right” and “I don’t think the government has anything to do with” it.

O’Reilly countered that Beck is “ignoring the profound change in the American family.”
