Tony Perkins: ‘Future Of Western Civilization’ At Stake In Gay Marriage Ruling

Yesterday, after a caller to his “Washington Watch” program wondered about the legal prospects of human-house marriages if the Supreme Court strikes down state bans on same-sex marriage, the Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins lamented that “there’s so many crazy things that come” from marriage equality.

Warning that furthering the legalization of gay marriage will weaken families and therefore undermine the future of society, Perkins questioned why the justices would make “such a drastic, fundamental, radical change based upon a few years of experience” with legal gay marriage.

“This really will determine the future of Western Civilization,” Perkins said. “It really will, this is very serious.”
