Born Again Christian Stephen Baldwin Says He’s Against Gay Marriage (And Wants Everyone To Turn Heterosexual)

Stephen Baldwin, the youngest of the Baldwin brothers and a born again Christian has said in an interview with the  The Guardian, following his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, that he believes that gay men should, through their faith,  reject their homosexuality and settle down in heterosexual marriages.

And just in case that didn’t make it clear enough that he was against gay marriage, Stephen went on to talk about how that he felt gay marriage and civil partnerships act to have a negative impact on society, saying:

“I believe that the family unit has fundamentally been the most positive thing for society and I don’t believe that any minority has the right to create changes that impact on the majority. That’s really the only issue for me.”

Wonderfully ignorant in his views, Baldwin’s homophobic beliefs angered the journalist, Miranda Sawyer, so much that she felt need to distance herself from his views ending the article with the following:

“And so Stephen and I part company, both feeling disappointed in each other. It’s a shame, but it’s one of those things. You can really like someone, but when you disagree so decisively on the way you should treat others, you can never really be friends. Honestly, what is it about American born-again Christians that makes them so intolerant? ­Whatever happened to loving thy ­neighbour?”

And she isn’t the first to want to distance herself from his views. Back in 2008, his beliefs against gay marriage also lead to his brother Alec Baldwin to speak out in an interview with the Advocate saying he believed if people like Stephen want to ban gay marriage because the couple are incapable of having children then all infertile couples must be banned, however this won’t happen because

“…they never make it fair, and they just single out groups of people that they hate.”
