Poodle and faux-finishing enthusiast, Jim Quinn

On November 6, Jim Quinn (seen here in his lavender, faux-finished bedroom with his two poodles) of the nationally syndicated radio program, 'The War Room with Quinn & Rose', made defamatory statements about marriage for same-sex couples.

As noted by Media Matters for America, "Discussing the passage of a California ballot initiative to amend the state constitution to ban same-sex marriage, radio host Jim Quinn asserted: '[G]ay marriage doesn't produce anything that the state has an interest in. Gay sex produces AIDS, which the state doesn't have – or should have an interest in. They should charge homosexuals more for their – for their health insurance than they charge the rest of us.'"

Media Matters released a transcript and audio of the comments.
