Well, of course someone very visible on television is going to cause a "furor" when that person says something contrary to what the pro-homosexual, pro-immigration, globalist, post-colonial guilt ridden, politically correct popular media holds near and dear. Or what it pretends to hold near and dear with whatever position would afford it the most money.
Few people, outside of San Francisco or Wilton Manors, aren't going to give it much thought anyways, even if they do support the idea of gay marriage. The media, along with the rich, noisy, vocal gay civil rights groups(mafia) are out to cause a furor where there normally wouldn't have been one in the first place.
Keep it up America. You hear the roaring of equality when it comes to gay marriage from celebrities and politicians, but absolutely nothing about other places where brutality of women is very real and often. Its that very barbarism(along with much higher birthrates) that will come along and possibly sweep away the new Western minority.
