I`d be surprised if the majority wanted to hear narrow minded bigotry at their commencement.
Dr. Carson is neither bigotted or narrow minded. Conservatism does not equate to narrow mindedness. But "liberalism" of the "same sex marriage" crowd is unbridled perversion of the language, and open war against societal pillars. Nothing good can come of it.

Reason: rude
He's not intolerant, he just says they don't get to change the definition.
Carson should be happy their are "definition-changers" in this world. He owes everything he has to that. His ancestors weren't allowed to vote/own property/not be slaves/get an education/etc, etc,etc....
There is absolutely nothing wrong or offensive in that statement! He is completely right. The mentioned groups do not have the right to change the definition [of marriage]. The definition is what it is.
This is tyranny by the minority. All freedom loving people should stand against it!
No where did I say he said anything offensive...but it is currious to lump gays, nambla, and practitioners of beastiality into same thought.
I don't know if you have much experience with commencements, but they are not political conventions, or soap boxes, or "free speech". They are about the students who are graduating. As such it shouldn't be about the speaker it should be about the graduates and if they don't want him they don't want him. Even Carson understands this.
I rest my case.
Here folks, we have one who hasn't listened to Dr. Carson enough to realize he isn't even remotely political. He's all about bettering oneself. The perfect candidate to speak at commencement.
But no! Those low IQs I mentioned only hear what the hand wringers at MSNBC and the like have to say.

so when a Liberal is invited to speak at an event you frequent, you fear them by not wanting to listen to what they have to say?

The very reason Carson has gotten so much attention from the right is because he made a non political event very political.

That is funny because I suspect it is you who hasn't listened to Dr. Carson...
Here is what Dr. Carson said.
“This is their graduation, their big day, and if they think me being there is going to be a problem, I am happy to withdraw.”
Even Dr. Carson understands, probably because of his own educational background, that commencements are an important recognition of the graduates' achievements. They are principally about the students, this is not some sort of political rally, it is a day a lot of people worked hard to achieve. I don't expect people without a lot of education to understand this, but please try. It is the day these students worked years for, and they should be able to have a say in the proceedings.
BTW though it is irrelevant, and none of your business, I am pretty damn sure my IQ is a whole hell of a lot higher then yours.

Dr. Carson is no bigot.
