Former president and ordained Baptist minister Jimmy Carter said during a July 7, 2015, interview with Huffington Post Live that he personally believes Jesus would approve of gay marriage, and he himself has no problem with it.
“I think Jesus would encourage any love affair if it was honest and sincere and was not damaging to anyone else, and I don’t see that gay marriage damages anyone else,” Carter said in a HuffPost Live interview with Marc Lamont Hill published Tuesday.
