Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin spoke Friday to an anti-gay group
in Pennsylvania, NBC affiliate WGAL reported.
Palin, a Republican, spoke to a crowd of 1,100 at the Pennsylvania
Family Institute's Friends of the Family banquet in Hershey.
“You're not afraid to cling to your guns and your religion and your
constitution,” Palin told a cheering crowd.
The group's president, Michael Geer, recently appeared at an
anti-gay marriage rally held in Harrisburg and sponsored by
the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), the nation's most
vociferous opponent of gay marriage.
With the Capitol building in the background, Geer asked the crowd:
“Why does a building like this exist? Why do we have a Legislature
when the courts are just going to tell us the way things ought to be?”
The social conservative group is currently working to put a gay marriage
ban in the Pennsylvania Constitution.
Palin also endorsed anti-gay Karen Handel in her bid to become Georgia's
