Famed conservative Dr. Laura Schlessinger praised same-sex committed relationships on Larry King Live as, “a beautiful thing and a healthy thing.”
When host Larry King directly asked the conservative radio host about her reactions to burgeoning gay marriage acceptance in new states. She tried to say she didn’t “have much of an oponion on it.” But King pressed, citing Dr. Laura had “always favored that marriage must be between a man and woman.”
Shlessinger replied thoughtfully:
”I’m very big on human beings finding love, attachment and commitment and being faithful to it, because there’s more to benefit when there is real, true commitment and faithfulness to it. I still believe, as just every president has, and all the people who ran for office, that marriage is a sacrament between a man and a woman. So not calling it marriage works for me. But that two people would have that sort of commitment to me is a very healthy and very positive thing in their lives and society as a whole."
King, a fan of marriage in his own personal history, surmised, “so, you favor marriage between a man and a woman, but you applaud the fact that even people of the same sex can have that kind of commitment to each other.”
