Arizona congressman Matt Salmon's gay son--also named Matt--is really making the rounds. He stopped by Anderson 360 to chat with the Silver Fox about his father's opposition to marriage equality.
We can't hate on him for taking advantage of any opportunity to get face time with Anderson, but we're curious as to what you think about Matt's relationship with his parents--both of whom are actively and vocally opposed to him having the right to marry the partner of his choosing.
Watch after the jump.

That makes sense considering CDC data shows that LGBT people are almost 70% more likely to smoke cigarettes than others. (Sidebar, what's with people lighting up after they leave the gym??)
Check out the CDC's video with Ellie, who currently lives with her partner in a smoke-free home. Ellie suffers from asthma caused by second-hand smoke; she's never been a smoker. Watch after the jump.
