Ben Carson Claims Anti-Gay Bakery Owners 'Might Put Poison' In Same-Sex Couple's Cakes<\/b>
\nGOP presidential hopeful<\/a> Ben Carson reportedly slammed lesbian<\/a>, gay<\/a>, bisexual<\/a> and transgender (LGBT) rights advocates at a Jan. 24 press conference following his speech at Congressman Steve King’s Iowa Freedom Summit<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Carson, a Fox News commentator and former Johns Hopkins University pediatric neurosurgeon, seemed to hint at a series of disputes<\/a> that have erupted between same-sex<\/a> couples<\/a> hoping to tie the knot and bakeries and other wedding-related venues operated by opponents of same-sex<\/a> marriage. <\/p>\n

“What I have a problem with is when people try to force people to act against their beliefs<\/a> because they say, ‘They’re discriminating against me,’” he told reporters, according to The Hill. “So they can go right down the street and buy a cake, but no, let’s bring a suit against this person because I want them to make my cake even though they don’t believe in it.”<\/p>\n

He then added, “[That] is really not all that smart because they might put poison in that cake.” <\/p>\n

Carson has been outspoken in regard to his opposition to same-sex marriage rights<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“Marriage is between a man and a woman<\/a>. No group, be they gays<\/a>, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn’t matter what they are,” he told Sean Hannity in 2012, as cited by Slate. “They don’t get to change the definition.”<\/p>\n

He shared similar sentiments in his 2012 book, America the Beautiful: Rediscovering What Made This Nation Great<\/a><\/em>, noting that attempts to “redefine marriage” would bring about a “disastrous ending” for the U.S. that would mirror “the dramatic fall of the Roman Empire<\/a>,” according to Media Matters. <\/p>\n

Interestingly, Carson may have been in the minority when it came to discussing same-sex<\/a> marriage at the Iowa Freedom Summit this year. As The Huffington Post’s Igor Bobic reported, the subject “remained conspicuously absent from the lips of many speakers<\/a> who took the stage, demonstrating how dramatically politics around the issue has shifted in just a few years.” <\/p>\n
