Paladino calls gays 'dysfunctional'

Carl Paladino says it’s not okay to be gay.

"There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual," the Republican gubernatorial candidate told a small Hasidic group at K’hal Adas Kasho synagogue in Williamsburg today.

"That's not how god created us, and that's not the example that we should be showing our children."

Paladino, who has made his opposition to the gay marriage and "the homosexual agenda" clear, went much further yesterday, to say children "would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family" than being gay."

"And I don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option," he said. "It isn't."

The speech came just days after the suicide of a gay Rutgers student and an anti-gay gang attack in the Bronx.

His Democratic opponent, Andrew Cuomo, blasted the remarks as "stunning homophobia and a glaring disregard for basic equality."

A campaign spokesman said "These comments along with other views he has espoused make it clear that he is way out of the mainstream a

That’s because you’re a KansasGirl, not a New Yorker. Believe me, Paladino’s comments haven’t been acceptable in polite NY company for 50 years.

Well, he is right, but he’s not going to win in New York saying so.

Interesting timing.....The following was posted on a Facebook of a very liberal niece of ours....today..... KR (name withheld) is a LOVER OF HUMAN SPIRIT and National Coming Out Day is tomorrow. I'm coming out for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality because it's 2010 and you can still be fired from your job in 29 states for being lesbian, gay or bisexual and in 38 states for being transgender.

I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
Homosexual marriage has lost on every statewide ballot-even in California- it has appeared on, Paladino’s views seem quite mainstream.

Finally, someone with the balls to tell the truth. For the first and only time in my life, I wish I lived in New York.

[Some Fat Guy in L.A.]

Wow - telling New Yorkers the truth - this guy has promise.

[GlockThe Vote]

I am going to vote for him. I live here. But this really is not going to play well at all.

[libh8er]

Such clarity is refreshing.

[blasater1960]

Hhmmmm....Paladino 2012? :o)

[Ulysse]

This is only plain and full truth...but we are no more used to hear it !!!

[therut]

This mainstream they talk about is just like the not “mainstream” churches. Not so much.

I noticed that too. So did God.

[GlockThe Vote]

I live here and this is not going to play well.

Taking a hard one in the butt or oral cavity is not normal, and if that’s a fagfest and they love it, it’s still depraved and if the pitcher/catcher is a Catholic, it’s a MORTAL SIN. If you do it and die, you go straight to Hell.

I am sure. This will not play well at all in New York. What he says is true, but it just wasn't wise to say so out loud.

Well let's not leave out the so called, ‘transgendered’. If a guy cuts his penis off, that does not make him a woman. All throughout history, until lately, these guys were called Eunuchs. Now they have to be called ‘transgendered’ and they need ‘special’ rights. “But He is a Woman now!” What part of that sentence makes any sense at all in normal rational terms. Reality isn't some mythical fantasy land where you can just make up what you ‘want’ to be true. Well, for most of us it is not. The Left lives in a perpetual fantasy world.

Talk to any Liberal, any Democrat and they will tell you that unless you openly and loudly support every disgusting deviancy under the sun you are a ‘hater’. Or you are the comical term ‘homophobic’ lol. I have never been ‘afraid’ of a queer my entire life.

They are called ‘queer’ for a reason.
