‘Please Welcome… Never Mind’
Owen and his husband Sam are the parents of a young son and are expecting twins. Owen wrote that Huckabee’s stance on the LGBT community “made it clear my family is not welcome in his America.” He added, “Huckabee speaks of the sort of things that would suggest my family is morally beneath his and uses language that has a profoundly negative impact upon young people all across this country. Not to mention how harmful and damaging his deep involvement with the NRA is. What a shameful choice.”
