| Description | Former Arkansas GOP Gov. Mike Huckabee is defending himself against criticism from the gay community, saying that his statement on the “ick factor” of gay marriage has been distorted.
Huckabee landed in hot water Tuesday for a comment he made in a New Yorker profile opposing gay marriage.
“I do believe that God created male and female and intended for marriage to be the relationship of the two opposite sexes,” Huckabee told the magazine. “Male and female are biologically compatible to have a relationship. We can get into the ‘ick factor,’ but the fact is two men in a relationship, two women in a relationship, biologically, that doesn’t work the same.”
Huckabee’s use of the phrase “ick factor” attracted criticism from gay leaders, who in a POLITICO story Tuesday criticized the former governor.
