LGBTQ issues are a burning topic globally. While some take it naturally, others seem to hesitate to accept that people have sexual orientation beyond heterosexuality. While we are on the topic, let's get on with Fox News' Guy Benson who came out as gay back in 2015 saying he doesn't care much for gay rights, is he dating anyone.
Is the American commentator Benson dating anyone? What is his current relationship? We have all the answers here.
Guy Benson Opens Admits He is Gay!
Thirty-two years old political editor of Townhall.com, Guy Benson, is openly gay. He revealed his sexual orientation in May 2015 just before publishing his new book, End of Discussion: How the Left's Outrage Industry Shuts Down Debate, Manipulates Voters, and Makes America Less Free (and Fun), which was co-authored by fellow Fox contributor, Mary Katharine Ham.
He wrote in the book,
“Guy here. So, I’m gay.”
However, the book is not about gay issues. In an interview with buzzfeed.com on 4 May 2015, the FOX News contributor said:
“Gay rights is not something that dominates my attentions — or my pa s sions — and that may seem incongruous, that may seem counterintuitive to a lot of people,”
He added:
“but the issues that I care about most undergird the reasons why I’m a conservative and have been forever and will be a conservative moving forward.”
Talking about gay marriage, Benson said gay marriage wouldn't affect straight marriage. He also shared that many gays have been treated unfairly for generations. He added:
"I don’t think that coming to a point of social harmony and then pushing further in this almost vengeful, ‘Let’s get ‘em,’ hounding people out of jobs … [I]t’s not productive, it’s not good for the country.”
Benson also called the gay issue a real obstacle and added there is not a quick fix for it.
