Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson said in a radio interview Friday that same-sex marriage will lead to polygamy.

The retired neurosurgeon was on air talking to conservative radio host Eric Metaxas. The conversation took an interesting turn when Carson said he had “nothing against gay people whatsoever” but wanted to know what he could do to make it up to the LGBT community if he continues to oppose same-sex marriage.
“The other thing you have to recognize and this is a very important issue,” Carson said. “If you change the definition of marriage for one group what defense do you have for the next group that comes along and wants it changed. Can you say, ‘no we’re just changing it this one time and it will be this way for forever.’ Well, how is that fair? I mean, it doesn’t make any sense.”
The Advocate reported on Carson’s interview:
Carson followed that up with the old trope that marriage equality will lead to newer definitions of marriage. “The natural next question” is opening up marriage to more than two partners, he said.
“Effectively what it does is it takes away from the tradition of family we’ve known for thousands of years, but also it negates an important part of the word of God,” he said. “And if you can do that with one part of the word of God, you can do it with the rest of it too. Toss the whole thing in the garbage.”
“Obviously, many people don’t care about the word of God,” Metaxas said in return.
