Clay Akin discussed marriage equality this weekend on CBS’s Face the Nation. The country music star told Perkins, an anti-gay activist and leader of the SLPC identified hate group Family Research Council:

“Obviously, you’ve got people who make the argument that interracial relationships — back in the 70s, people made the same arguments against interracial relationships as they are making against same sex marriages today.
