Chris Matthews plays 'hardball' with Tony Perkins

LGBT activists have been waiting for this day for a long time. Finally someone confronts Tony Perkins on his anti-gay rhetoric and doesn't stand down.

Congressman Barney Frank and Chris Matthews do not let Tony Perkins "off the hook" here.

The only show I can honestly say I don't miss is HARDBALL with Chris Matthews. I think he's smart, fair and experienced. I like him and I like his clarity.

Loved seeing this happen. Tony Perkins throws out phrases like "the social science doesn't conclusively show..."

Blah, blah, blah... it's all his own lies because there are enough people in the world that IF they hear something enough, then they believe it must be true.

One point I have to make here: Perkins says over and over again that social science shows children do better with a mother and a father as opposed to two mothers or two fathers - and he's wrong. At the Prop 8 trial, over and over experts testified that studies show children of lesbian or gay couples develop and achieve just as well as the children of heterosexual couples. Tony Perkins' "social science" is made up of the lies he WANTS to believe.

Enough Mr. Perkins. Enough.
