Mike Huckabee’s Tenure With Country Music Association Lasts One Day Due To LGBT Animus

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee

Just one day after joining the board of the Country Music Association, Mike Huckabee resigned as his multitude of hateful anti-LGBT comments came back to bite him in the butt.

From the Arkansas Times:

Huckabee’s critics included Jason Owen, who manages Little Big Town, Kacey Musgraves and Faith Hill. Owen, who is gay, married and a father, said “Huckabee speaks of the sort of things that would suggest my family is morally beneath his, and uses language that has a profoundly negative impact upon young people all across this country. Not to mention how harmful and damaging his deep involvement with the NRA is.” He said is companies would “no longer support the CMA Foundation”.

Huckabee has compared homosexuality with bestiality and regularly denounced same-sex marriage.
