the part about "what are special rights, anyway?" He's not endorsing the concept. He's saying that while some people call it "special rights," he's looking at couples that can't visit each other when they're sick, and believes that is a basic right that he needs to ensure.
And I know that, sometimes in this debate, there's talk about, 'Well, we don't mind giving gays and lesbians equal rights, but not special rights.' Well, the fact is, right now, many gay couples, for example, can't visit each other in the hospital. And, when I sit down and read scripture, and I think, 'How would Jesus feel about somebody not being able to visit somebody they love when they're sick,' I conclude that that is something that is important. And certainly as a public official, it's important for me to make sure that those basic rights, that basic equality is available."
