TUESDAY, APRIL 22, 2003 In a recent Associated Press interview, Senator Rick Santorum, the third-ranking Republican, compared homosexuality to criminal behavior. "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything," he said in reference to a Supreme Court case challenging a Texas law banning consensual homosexual sex. Gay rights groups are calling on Santorum, from Pennsylvania, to step down. A Santorum spokesperson said the remarks are accurate in context of the Supreme Court case. Santorum, a cheerleader of President Bush's faith-based initiatives, also believes religion should play a greater role in government. Get the Story:
