Tim Pawlenty Says Same-Sex Marriage “Defies Common Sense”

Republican presidential candidate (and former Minnesota governor) Tim Pawlenty appeared on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday morning, and asked about same-sex marriage, said that suggesting same-sex marriage is equal to opposite sex marriage “defies common sense” a man and a woman are “joined together for obvious reasons.” He added that “society devalues traditional marriage by saying all other domestic relationships are the same as traditional marriage you then dilute and devalue traditional marriage.”
