While complaining that people who said he wanted to hurt gays were misquoting him, he still managed to lump homosexuals in with "pornographers and the perverts who seek to target our children and destroy their lives" and claim that getting married and raising a family would be a better option for them than being homosexual...
I don't know about you, but I never made a choice to be heterosexual, I just found myself longing for the female body in every way, and I'm sure it must be the same type of primal urges for gays. This guy is either stupid or evil, because unfortunately his remarks reinforce the lunkhead mentality that fuels bullying and worse.
American politics is degenerating into uncivil territory that I really don't wanna see in Canada, and I don't believe will happen. We are such a diverse cultural mix that any type of discrimination is suspect, and I do hope we remain vigilant. Though I'm generally a pacifist, I would be really tempted to punch this guy in the face if he were trying to gain a Canadian political office.
Here's a quote from a recent speech:
We must stop pandering to the pornographers and the perverts who seek to target our children and destroy their lives.
I didn't march in the gay parade this year, gay pride parade this year. My opponent did. And that's not the example that we should be showing our children. Certainly not in our schools.
And don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. That would be a dastardly lie. My approach is live and let live.
I just think my children and your children would be much better off and more successful getting married and raising a family. And I don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option.
One would have to think that being anti-Gay and anti-science (option?) in NYC would be a foolish, losing proposition, so let's hope that Andrew Cuomo wins big in November and Paladino slithers off into the darkness and fades away.
