LGBTQNation: ‘The View’ talks NY gay marriage; Hasselbeck condemns anti-gay protesters

By Darryl Morris | NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- The ladies of ABC’s “The View” on Monday talked marriage equality, sending out their congratulations to New York gay and lesbian couples who married on Sunday, the first day in which gay unions became legal.

But other than Sherri Shepherd’s ridiculous attempt to steer the discussion away from gay marriage and talk about gravy boats instead, the surprise came early when Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who typically represents the conservative position, gave a strong rebuke to the anti-gay protesters, calling their demonstrations “tasteless.”

“The only thing that’s killing (heterosexual marriage) is heterosexual marriage,” Hasselbeck added.
