Hoops Icon In Favor of Marriage For Gay Couples

Former NBA superstar and influential TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley spoke out in favor of allowing gay people to marry on Fox SportsNet's "CMI: The Chris Meyers Interview, which will air on Sunday night.

"I think if they want to get married, God bless them," Barkley said. "Gay marriage is probably 1 percent of the population, so it's not like it's going to be an epidemic. Hey, trust me, I'm never going to kiss you and say, 'Chris, you're sexy."'

Barkley, a former MVP of the NBA, was a Republican until recently, saying he switched parties when the Republicans "lost their minds." He said he is troubled by some of the actions of people in the United States in the name of religion.

"Religious people in general are so discriminatory against other people, and that really disturbs me," he said. "My idea of religion is we all love and respect. We all sin, but we still have common decency and respect for other people. So right now I'm struggling with my idea of what religion is."

Barkley is considering running as a Democratic candidate for governor in his home state of Alabama.
