On Civil Rights: Respects people without worrying about lifestyle choices

Without stating categorically that his father was gay, GOP presidential hopeful Steve Forbes says he expected the issue to surface in his campaign and admits that Malcolm Forbes Sr. "had his life."

"My father had his life. We respected it. What he meant to us and to others I think speaks for itself. You don't have to approve of something that someone does to have compassion and love."
