Ben Carson, the retired neurosurgeon and potential Republican presidential candidate, said Wednesday that “a lot of people who go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay.”

The remarks were made on CNN’s “New Day” in response to a question from host Chris Cuomo, who asked if Carson thought being gay was a “choice.”

“Absolutely,” Carson replied.

Asked why, he went on to explain his prison theory. “So did something happen while they were in there?” he said. “Ask yourself that question.”

I would use OJ Simpson as exhibit A.

Contrary to pop culture belief, homosexuals aren’t “born that way”. That’s a commie lib myth. Sexual deviancy is a fad and a form of rebellion against society. The same thing as teenagers sneaking booze and cigarettes. IMHO.

Courageous honesty.

Even if “born that way” it’s still deviancy.

Contrary to pop culture belief, homosexuals aren’t “born that way”.

How does the "born that way crowd" explain late life changers like bruce jenner?

He was a male super athlete, won gold medals, and appeared to be a "normal person". What happened to bruce?

Of course, Carson is right, but he still shouldn’t run for President.

How do they explain Why there is such a small percent “born gay” ?
IF there are any truly born homosexuals they are an anomaly at best.

IF there are any truly born homosexuals they are an anomaly at best.

As with any other genetic abnormality.

Words like “pervert” and “deviant” and “retarded” need to be rehabilitated. Notice how the “Left” always changes language on issues it seeks to control. IMO, the Left are a bunch of emotionally perverse, intellectually retarded, socially deviant brats.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Its flat out an abnormality. Those that participate in this behavior are either biologically or psychologically abnormal

Case in point: Anne Heche.

[lavaroise]

Proof that the liberal government wants to run the country like a prison

[lavaroise]

He should say it straight up: homosexuality is a white liberal racist agenda promoting genocide of blacks.

There could be studies on this, but this premise could not be popular. Could be true I guess.
