We made note earlier this month of Fox News host Mike Huckabee's interview with College of New Jersey newsmagazine The Perspective in which the former Arkansas Governor drew “parallels between homosexuality” and drug use, incest, and polygamy while also defending his home state's ban on same-sex couples becoming adoptive or foster parents saying, “we should act in the best interest of the children, not in the seeming interest of the adults...children are not puppies.”

Now it seems Huckabee may be singing a (slightly) different tune on same-sex couples adopting. As Towleroad notes, Huckabee sat down for an interview with Rosie O'Donnell on the comedian's Sirius radio program:

Says Huckabee: “Well, you know Rosie, again, I think people have to make their own decision about what a family ought to look like and I'm not going to judge you or judge anybody else because I know there are so many loving people who are in same-sex relationships and they have adopted children and they love those kids. I'm not going to judge them. I'm simply not going there.”

O'Donnell goes on to say: I haven't mentioned marriage once Mike. I'm mentioning that there are half a million kids in foster care in America. And 99% of them were raised by heterosexual parents. And if there are homosexual people that want to take in and love these discarded children that the state is not raising and taking care of, to have public officials deem homosexuals unworthy of parenting is disastrous for the nation, for equality, and for humanity, and Mike, for Christianity."

By the way, last week a circuit court judge struck down Arkansas' Act 1 which, passed in 2008, banned same-sex couples and single people from adopting in the state.
