Glenn Beck Fears SCOTUS Ruling Will Change Radio

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck said Friday that the Supreme Court ruling that same-sex couples have the right to get married anywhere in the United States “is going to change everything.”

TheBlaze reports Beck has repeatedly said he believes the government should have no hand in marriage, and if a church wants to marry a gay couple, it should have the right to do so. But he also doesn’t believe a church should be forced to marry a gay couple, or that people of faith should be forced to be involved in gay weddings.

Beck expressed particular concern for the churches that say “I’m going to read the Bible as it’s written” and opt not to perform gay weddings. If nothing else, he said, they could be compared to the Westboro Baptist Church and lose their tax-exempt status.

“Just so you know, the family has been officially and will now be officially redesigned. It has to be defined differently,” Beck added. “The term ‘mom and dad’ in the traditional family is over. Now you’re parent one and parent two.”

“This could mean the end of radio broadcasts like mine,” Beck continued. “I am on now public airwaves, regulated by the federal government. If I say or anybody on this show says they’re for traditional marriage — which I am in my personal life — I don’t believe the government has any place in it. … That now puts this radio broadcast in jeopardy.”

Beck said after Friday’s Supreme Court decision, he is going to begin looking for new ways to communicate with the public.


“It puts anybody who stands up for traditional marriage in jeopardy at work because you are now going against what the federal government says we must now all accept,” Beck said. “If not, you’re a bigot. And now the law has given these activist groups real teeth. The world has changed.”
