Right-wing pundit Dick Morris was speaking from what appeared to be a living room as the man strolled through.

Is he outspoken anti-gay? Then it's pretty likely to be his boyfriend with how every accusation is a confession with conservatives these days...

He doesn't seem to be hardcore anti-gay. I haven't found much but did find this in an article:

Said Morris:

"My view on gay marriage is that if a state decides to go for gay marriage, the legislature or the voters, that's great. That's up to them. I've got no problem with it. I don't believe that the courts should jam it down anybody's throat.

As for his personal view? "If people want it they should be able to do it but it's got to be a decision of the community."

Well that’s the best you can hope for from a right winger.

That last bit shows he's a homophobe. He thinks it's a privilege instead of a human right and is fine with states persecuting people.

It does, but he's a fucking Newsmax presenter so we're operating with a bar so low it's somewhere in the Earth's mantle

Sounds like what a gay Republican would say to me

He likes his prostitutes.

Probably the least weird part of the interview if everything else Newsmax ever did is anything to go by tbh 🤷
