3. He's president of the Family Research Council...
A hate group, period.

CNN seems to be their biggest booster and have been for at least a decade. I've written them repeatedly over the years protesting the fact that on every single gay issue they trot out someone from the FRC to comment. I equated it to having a Klan member comment on African-American issues or a skinhead giving his opinion on Jewish issues. It's so objectionable and offensive, as a gay person, to have CNN throw FRC in my face constantly. It's the biggest reason I stopped watching CNN altogether.

Every time CNN gives FRC a platform they probably get people signing up on their site and donating - and FRC gave lots of money to the Yes on 8 campaign. Nice of CNN to constantly promote them, eh?
