Kerry says people are born gay

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says he believes people are born gay but are not guaranteed the right to marry within their own gender.

"I think it's entirely who you are from birth, personally," Kerry said in an interview to be broadcast on MTV. "Some people might choose, but I think that it's, it's who you are. I think you have ... people need to be able to be who they are."

Asked why he favors civil unions instead of marriage if people are born gay, Kerry replied: "What is distinct is the institutional name or whatever people look at as the sacrament within a church, or within a synagogue or within a mosque as a religious institution. There is a distinction. And the civil state really just adopted that, and it's the rights that are important, not the sort of ... the name of the institution."

In a transcript released Friday by MTV for its Tuesday special "Choose or Lose: 20 Million Questions for John Kerry," the presumptive Democratic nominee said he favors civil unions to give people partnership, inheritance and other rights.

"I think that people have a right in America to be who they are," Kerry said. "I believe very strongly that we can advance the cause of equality by moving toward civil union."

Yes, the homofascists are desirous of legal protections and status protections based *solely* on where they choose to put their penis.

" This is a leader? "

No, but look at Clinton. Who would have thought he was electable.

Unfortunately there are more than enough stupid people in this country to elect the likes of Clinton or Kerry.

[rintense]

Could he play both sides any more???? One could argue he's AC/DC on every issue.

[mabelkitty]

Until they publish the stats of adult homosexuals who were molested as children/pubescents, everything in the debate is based on lies. The percentage is very very high.

[rintense]

That is just sick and wrong.

Re: Kerry says people are born gay

Yet never ugly... Right!

[breakem]

There will be 5 presidential debates. VP-1 Bush-Kerry-2 and Kerry-Kerry-2

[Guillermo]

He isn't a flip-flopper, he's "nuanced."

Remember, only old-fashioned ogres like Bush see things in black and white, right and wrong.

[mabelkitty]

So, the sex between Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky - that sex would be considered a homo/hetero act.
Does the homo part grant them special rights and prives because they engaged in it? Would any other couples?

Does this make married hetero couples eligible for special treatment by the government?

What a conundrum.

I've got a caption for that Kerry mock picture:

BOOOOOOOOORN GAAAAAAAAAAAY. AS GAY AS THE WIND BLOOOOOOOWS. AS GAY AS THE GRAAAAAAAASS GROWS, BORN GAAAAAAY TO FOLLOOOOOOW YOUR HEAAAAAAAART!

[Future Useless Eater]

Gays are brainwashed and recruited into the homosexual lifestyle choice, much like moonies recruit their converts, as well as Scientologists, Branch Davidians, Jim Jones followers, and other cults.

I'm sure none of THOSE people were 'born' with their beliefs either.

NAMBLA is convinced they can recruit almost ANY boy, if they can 'reach' them at the right time...

"Kerry says people are born gay".

Seems his wife was.

[beavus]

Don't expect much objective evidence for a long time. With the religious proclaiming it a mortal sin and the homosexuals proclaiming it a matter of civil rights, the issue is thoroughly politicized. Maybe one day people will generally ignore it as the non-issue it should be and some genuine science can be worked out.

[wideminded]

If homosexual sex isn't a choice, than neither is pedophilia, bestiality, or adultery.

IntegrityRocks did not say that homosexual sex is a choice. He said that sexual preference is a choice. It is the latter statement I disagree with.

There are people who are sexually attracted to children and animals. Obviously they must never be allowed to fulfill their perverted desires. But did they CHOOSE to feel these desires? It seems unlikely.

[Guillermo]

No one likes to be a drug addict, or an alcoholic, but people become those things due to the choices they made and continually make.

People don't always choose what's best for them, even when they know what's best.

That is the most beautiful photo of Kerry I have ever seen. Stunning.

What ON EARTH IS HE TALKING ABOUT?!

[little jeremiah]

C'mon, Kerry, just say that "gays" should get married with a cake, flowers, priest, and all the trimmings. Just say what you really feel, ok?

Homosexual Agenda Ping + Kerry is a dam' fool alert.

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this ping list.

(So Kerry "believes" that homosexuals are born that way? What else does he "believe"? Many people "believe" all kinds of foolish rubbish, so what. Belief doens't make something true.)

[scripter]

Belief doens't make something true.

Indeed. Science doesn't support Kerry's position on homosexuality.

Fortunately homosexuals can leave the lifestyle as thousands already have.

[IPWGOP]

I did this for Howard Dean when he said, basically, the same thing as Kerry. So, heeeeer's Johnny!
