The Republican politician who was a part of the 2008 primaries of the GOP has recently made headlines, after Mike Huckabee's homosexuality comments raised eyebrows across the country when he compared being gay to drinking or swearing - which is to say, lifetime "choices" he's not interested in.

The LGBT community (Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transsexual) has often pushed forward the idea that sexuality is not a choice but rather that people are born with it, and, as studies flutter in the social and biological sciences trying to see whether it is possible to scientifically prove this, Mike Huckabee's homosexuality statements prove that his opinion couldn't be more far away from this theory.

According to Time Magazine, Mike Huckabee's homosexuality comments came during an interview, as he was promoting his new book called "God, Guns, Grits and Gravy." Seemingly, in the book there's a passage where the politician speaks about his gay friends, saying he doesn't give their backs to people because of what they choose to do.

"People can be my friends who have lifestyles that are not necessarily my lifestyle. I don't shut people out of my circle or out of my life because they have a different point of view," went Mike Huckabee's homosexuality comments on "State of the Union," the CNN show where he was being interviewed. "I don't drink alcohol, but gosh, a lot of my friends, maybe most of them, do. You know, I don't use profanity, but believe me, I've got a lot of friends who do. Some people really like classical music and ballet and opera. It's not my cup of tea."

He also said that his views on gay marriage weren't about to change any time soon, as more than a political issue it was a "Biblical" one, and that his opinion wouldn't change unless he was shown a "new version" of the Scripture.

As TV Guide points out, Huckabee's controversial remarks come as he's pondering pursuing the Republican nomination for the 2016 election - and it's unclear whether Mike Huckabee's homosexuality views would harm him in a time where equal marriage is legal in most states of the Union.
