Host David Letterman Says “Absolute Stupidity" The Fight Against Gay Marriage
Late night talk show host David Letterman let off some steam Wednesday night (3 April) directed at gay marriage opponents during a chat with guest Rachel Maddow.
Letterman described himself as 'just sick and tired' of the arguments against marriage equality and the characteristics of the debate itself.
'I think it has really crossed the line of being nonsense,' he said. 'This ongoing, politically nuanced, religiously nuanced discussion of gay marriage, gay rights. It is absolute stupidity.'
Letterman, a late night television fixture since 1982, made clear that to him, there is no debate.
'Humans have the right to do what humans do, that’s it. End of story. There’s no argument. There’s no exceptions. Humans have rights and they get to do what humans get to do. Case closed. Good night.'
Letterman called anti-gay marriage efforts 'beyond embarrassing.'
'It’s exclusionary based on, what? Well, nothing, really, other than the fear people have generated of who knows what.’
