Robinson made his comments during an appearance on cabler Comedy Central's Daily Show to pitch his new book God Believes In Love: Straight Talk About Gay Marriage. ?Here's a guy who, in a culture that virtually demanded marriage, was a single guy, spent most of his time with twelve men, singled out three of them for leadership and one of them is known in the Bible as 'the one whom Jesus loved,'? Robinson said. ?Now I'm not saying Jesus was gay, but let's be careful to rope this guy in for a husband, wife and 2.2 children model for family. He knew about families of choice and so do LGBT people.? ?I've heard some say it was a last brunch,? host Jon Stewart quipped. (Watch the entire segment at TheDailyShow.com.)

The 57-year-old Huckabee appeared on Stewart's Daily Show faux news program to pitch his new book Dear Chandler, Dear Scarlett: A Grandfather's thoughts on Faith, Family and the Things That Matter Most. Stewart played a Huckabee-narrated ad in which the former governor turned Fox News host warned Christians that they would be ?tested? if they did not oppose abortion and gay marriage at the ballot box. The ad included imagery of a blacksmith putting metal in a forge. ?Are you saying that if you vote for the Democrats, you're going to Hell?? Stewart asked. ?No!? Huckabee responded. ?It sure looked like Hell,? Stewart said. Huckabee insisted that the ad simply reminded Christians that their works would be put to the test of fire. ?But you narrowed your works to two things: p

So we have a very strong story to tell. Whether it's on social issues like Don't Ask, Don't Tell, or economic issues that matter for middle class families.? ?I do think that part of the president's job is not only moving forward on things that will

On Tuesday night's broadcast of Comedy Central's Daily Show, Stewart took a swipe at Smith, the Tucson man who was fired after he posted a video of himself harassing a Chick-Fil-A employee named Rachel over the fast-food chain's opposition to gay marriage. ?I don't know how you live with yourself and work here. I don't understand it. This is a horrible corporation with horrible values. You deserve better,? Smith told Rachel, who remained calm and polite throughout the exchange. Stewart mocked Smith's assertion that he felt good about himself because he had done something ?purposeful?: ?'Oh, I should be clear, my purpose is to be a dick!'? Smith also informed Rachel that he's ?totally heterosexual? and ?I just can't stand the hate.? ?'Your company sucks and I don't blow dudes,'? a hor

Mitt Romney apparently can't win when it comes to gay hire Richard Grenell. Mitt Romney apparently can't win when it comes to gay hire Richard Grenell.

Stewart hit back at Fischer on his Comedy Central newscast The Daily Show. ?Now that Rominee has weathered the primaries, it's time for the great 'Pivot to the Center,'? Stewart told his audience on Wednesday. ?That's quite a pivot. Hiring a guy who believes in everything you believe and likes everything you like except boobs.? ?The guy's gay, who cares?? Stewart rhetorically asked, before playing a clip of Fischer condemning Romney's move, and then, paraphrasing Fischer's thoughts, added: ?Yeah you can't appoint a gay guy.
