Ben Carson is “irritated” by the comparison between the fight for same-sex marriage rights and the Civil Rights Movement.
According to him there is no overt segregation against gays.
He doesn’t “ remember any times when there were signs up that says, you know, ‘everybody else here and gay people have to drink at this fountain.”
He obviously thinks segregation is only real if there is some sort of posted sign proclaiming it.
People being turned away from hotels, restaurants, bakeries, doctors’ offices, and schools aren’t being denied service if there is no posted sign.
Now, if memory serves me correctly, up until 1964, the United States was a White man’s country. There were two sets of rules- one for the whites and one for the Blacks. Blacks couldn’t do many things that White people could, and Blacks were very aware of where they could go without any push back even if there were no signs.
Then with the Civil Rights Act, the rights that were extended to Blacks were considered “Equal”, not “Special” as they would be if they were really only White people’s rights and Blacks only got them through White largess.
This would make them special rights.
According to Ben Carson, though, this was merely a correction of a misreading of the Constitutional.

While he believes gay people are entitled to their rights, Carson drew the line at “extra rights”.
“Of course gay people should have the same rights as everyone else, but they don’t get extra rights,” Carson said.
In April 2013, Carson stepped down as commencement speaker for Johns Hopkins University’s School of Medicine after making some gay marriage comments in which he equated all Gay people to bestiality and NAMBLA, a group many Gays individually and Gay organizations officially reject.
Meanwhile the American Family Association, a group that not only opposes Gay people, but makes things up to justify its hatred, asserts that while Carson was on the Boards of Kellogg and Costco from the late 90 until 2015, when he began his campaign for the White House, he “supported aggressive gay rights policies”.
According to Reuters (emphasis mine throughout):
“Carson supported various initiatives at both companies, such as barring discrimination based on gender identity, providing health insurance for employees’ domestic partners, and offering more diversity training. Because of such changes the companies now are ranked as some of the best in the United States by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocates.”
And since the religious right believes that laws that ban employment discrimination against homosexuals require employment discrimination against Christians, the AFA is not too thrilled with him.
According to AFA, not only did he not speak against nondiscrimination policies, it claims “Fellow directors said they do not recall Carson opposing any of the initiatives presented to the board.
“Ben Carson never came into the boardroom with any kind of social policy commentary,” said Jeffrey Brotman, who chairs Costco’s board.Kellogg director Donald Knauss said he also remembers Carson went along with the policy changes.”
They are upset that “not once but twice Dr. Carson used his influence to promote special protections for non-normative sexual behavior in the public marketplace.”
So, is he over compensating to get the religious right vote, was he just sleeping through Board meetings, or, is he pandering?
