The View November 7th Recap: Ricky Gervais, Mario Cantone, and Steve Harvey
Friday, November 7th, 2008
IToday on The View, it was a “special edition” because it featured three comedians as guests. Joy was absent again because she will be on The Tonight Show tonight.
A high turnout of minority voters may have lead to more socially conservative issues to pass like Proposition 8 in California which bans gay marriage. Barbara Walters said that church groups supported it because they did not want to get sued if they refused to perform gay marriage ceremonies and did not want gay marriage taught in schools. Whoopi Goldberg said that marriage is not taught in schools, why would they teach gay marriage? Barbara said that it could discussed or in the curriculum. Elisabeth said that a priest in Sweden was arrested for refusing to perform a gay ceremony. Elisabeth said that supporters are saying that it is good that the victory came from the people rather than the court. Whoopi said that she has always said that if you don’t support gay marriage, don’t marry a gay person. Whoopi said that most gay people would not want to go get married in a church that would not support them.
