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

He has focused on the insane taxing and spending that goes on in Albany. This time, he was speaking to a group of Hasidic Jews. They vote according to their common beliefs and they vote in large groups. From the comments I have read on the Yeshiva World News website, they like Paladino both for his desire to take a baseball bat to the state's corruption and his frank statements about issues such as gay marriage.
I admire Paladino for his guts and gusto. It's refreshing and bold. It is, IMO, what the people really want from their leaders rather than the PC baloney that has kept us in chains for too long. New York is not just the cesspool called Manhattan, so he may just have a chance to win the governorship.
I live in VIRGINIA, a fact which would not stop a democRat from voting in NEW YORK, but which at least gives me pause ...
I wonder whose editorial decision it was to use a lower case "g" for God's Most Holy Name?
HA...you are gutsier than I.....I didn’t want to GO there....
Pedophilia is probably next, to be followed by polygamy ... bestiality is still a bit of a stretch.
Yeah, but that's because Blacks and Hispanics always vote against it when it's spelled out plainly on a ballot. But those same Blacks and Hispanics will vote for the Democrat in any political race.
Oh! I see what you’re saying. Cuomo is afraid of Paladino. He has good reason. Some remember Cuomo’s father. And that Cuomo was the head of HUD and started this financial mess.
To us, God is a Person with whom we can have a covenant relationship.
To the fine folks at crAP, god is a vague concept believed in by rubes and the mentally deficient.
Unfortunately the dense concentration of liberals in the Big Apple won’t smile too kindly on Paladino’s words, even though he spoke the truth. And Rasmussen had Cuomo ahead by 15 on September 20.
Your way of expressing your reasoning made me laugh but what you wrote is true.
I live in ny and will proudly vote for paladino. But this is idiotic. Its not going to work. The voters in this state are concerened about taxes and spending and mediciad and fiscal issues, not this nonsense.
One of my college buddies (male) did the same thing. He lived with her a couple of years first to make sure he could really change. I've known a couple of women since then that have also crossed back over to the straight side of the street.
“It’s not like his state isn’t fully stocked with red meat economic issues on which he could get elected if he smartly addreses them.”
If a politician is attempting to tell the truth, then they should be rewarded by voting for them. Calling a shovel a shovel, or in this case calling queers dysfunctional, is simply stating a fact. Also, the queers have chosen to make their sexuality part of public policy. Politicians are going to have to choose to be for that or against it, and let the voters decide which way to go based on that. Someone that refers to evil as evil is preferable to someone who calls evil good, and good evil. This is politically acceptable, and frankly, this nation has too long been plagued by apologetic go-along politicians who say nothing of substance in order to get elected, as if that were the only important thing.
The referenced FACTS below prove to me that being a ‘peter-puffer’ is a dysfunctional lifestyle. No questions about it.
Carl will win in NY and send a shock wave across America. I’m an upstater and nearly every house I pass has a “We’re Mad Too, Carl!” yard sign. We have two.
Is New York ready for a real MAN that is not a bought and paid for politician like little wimpy Coumo? I say YES!
The Statistics on Homosexuality and its Effects
Some statistics about the Homosexual lifestyle:
: One study reports 70% of homosexuals admitting to having sex only one time with over 50% of their partners (3).
•One study reports that the average homosexual has between 20 and 106 partners per year (6). The average heterosexual has 8 partners in a lifetime.
•Many homosexual sexual encounters occur while drunk, high on drugs, or in an orgy setting (7).
•Many homosexuals don’t pay heed to warnings of their lifestyles: “Knowledge of health guidelines was quite high, but this knowledge had no relation to sexual behavior” (16).
•Homosexuals got homosexuality removed from the list of mental illnesses in the early 70s by storming the annual American Psychiatric Association (APA) conference on successive years. “Guerrilla theater tactics and more straight-forward shouting matches characterized their presence” (2). Since homosexuality has been removed from the APA list of mental illnesses, so has pedophilia (except when the adult feels “subjective distress”) (27).
•Homosexuals account for 3-4% of all gonorrhea cases, 60% of all syphilis cases, and 17% of all hospital admissions (other than for STDs) in the United States (5). They make up only 1-2% of the population.
•Homosexuals live unhealthy lifestyles, and have historically accounted for the bulk of syphilis, gonorrhea, Hepatitis B, the “gay bowel syndrome” (which attacks the intestinal tract), tuberculosis and cytomegalovirus (27).
•73% of psychiatrists say homosexuals are less happy than the average person, and of those psychiatrists, 70% say that the unhappiness is NOT due to social stigmatization (13).
•25-33% of homosexuals and lesbians are alcoholics (11).
•Of homosexuals questioned in one study reports that 43% admit to 500 or more partners in a lifetime, 28% admit to 1000 or more in a lifetime, and of these people, 79% say that half of those partners are total strangers, and 70% of those sexual contacts are one night stands (or, as one homosexual admits in the film “The Castro”, one minute stands) (3). Also, it is a favorite past-time of many homosexuals to go to “cruisy areas” and have anonymous sex.
•78% of homosexuals are affected by STDs (20).
•Judge John Martaugh, chief magistrate of the New York City Criminal Court has said, “Homosexuals account for half the murders in large cities” (10).
•Captain William Riddle of the Los Angeles Police says, “30,000 sexually abused children in Los Angeles were victims of homosexuals” (10).
•50% of suicides can be attributed to homosexuals (10).
•Dr. Daniel Capron, a practicing psychiatrist, says, “Homosexuality by definition is not healthy and wholesome. The homosexual person, at best, will be unhappier and more unfulfilled than the sexually normal person” (10). For other psychiatrists who believe that homosexuality is wrong, please see National Association for Research and Therapy of Homosexuality.
•It takes approximately $300,000 to take care of each AIDS victim, so thanks to the promiscuous lifestyle of homosexuals, medical insurance rates have been skyrocketing for all of us(10).
•Homosexuals were responsible for spreading AIDS in the United States, and then raised up violent groups like Act Up and Ground Zero to complain about it. Even today, homosexuals account for well over 50% of the AIDS cases in the United States, which is quite a large number considering that they account for only 1-2% of the population.
•Homosexuals account for a disproportionate number of hepatitis cases: 70-80% in San Francisco, 29% in Denver, 66% in New York City, 56% in Toronto, 42% in Montreal, and 26% in Melbourne (8).
•37% of homosexuals engage in sadomasochism, which accounts for many accidental deaths. In San Francisco, classes were held to teach homosexuals how to not kill their partners during sadomasochism (8).
•41% of homosexuals say they have had sex with strangers in public restrooms, 60% say they have had sex with strangers in bathhouses, and 64% of these encounters have involved the use of illegal drugs (8).
•Depending on the city, 39-59% of homosexuals are infected with intestinal parasites like worms, flukes and amoebae, which is common in filthy third world countries (8).
•The median age of death of homosexuals is 42 (only 9% live past age 65). This drops to 39 if the cause of death is AIDS. The median age of death of a married heterosexual man is 75 (8).
•The median age of death of lesbians is 45 (only 24% live past age 65). The median age of death of a married heterosexual woman is 79 (8).
•Homosexuals are 100 times more likely to be murdered (usually by another homosexual) than the average person, 25 times more likely to commit suicide, and 19 times more likely to die in a traffic accident (8).
•21% of lesbians die of murder, suicide or traffic accident, which is at a rate of 534 times higher than the number of white heterosexual females aged 25-44 who die of these things(8).
•50% of the calls to a hotline to report “queer bashing” involved domestic violence (i.e., homosexuals beating up other homosexuals) (18).
•About 50% of the women on death row are lesbians (12).
Homosexuals prey on children.
•33% of homosexuals ADMIT to minor/adult sex (7).
•There is a notable homosexual group, consisting of thousands of members, known as the North American Man and Boy Love Association ( NAMBLA). This is a child molesting homosexual group whose cry is “SEX BEFORE 8 BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.” This group can be seen marching in most major homosexual parades across the United States.
•Homosexuals commit more than 33% of all reported child molestations in the United States, which, assuming homosexuals make up 2% of the population, means that 1 in 20 homosexuals is a child molestor, while 1 in 490 heterosexuals is a child molestor (19).
•73% of all homosexuals have had sex with boys under 19 years of age (9).
•Many homosexuals admit that they are pedophiles: “The love between men and boys is at the foundation of homosexuality” (22).
•Because homosexuals can’t reproduce naturally, they resort to recruiting children. Homosexuals can be heard chanting “TEN PERCENT IS NOT ENOUGH, RECRUIT, RECRUIT, RECRUIT” in their homosexual parades. A group called the “Lesbian Avengers” prides itself on trying to recruit young girls. They print “WE RECRUIT” on their literature. Some other homosexuals aren’t as overt about this, but rather try to infiltrate society and get into positions where they will have access to the malleable minds of young children (e.g., the clergy, teachers, Boy Scout leaders, etc.) (8). See the DC Lesbian Avengers web page, and DC Lesbian Avengers Press Release, where they threaten to recruit little boys and girls. Also, see AFA Action Alert.
The homosexual agenda.
•The homosexual agenda includes desensitizing the public: “The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays and gay rights.....To desensitize the public is to help it view homosexuality with indifference instead of with keen emotion. Ideally, we would have straights register differences in sexual preferences the way they register different tastes for ice cream or sports games....At least in the beginning, we are seeking public desensitization and nothing more. We do not need and cannot expect a full ‘appreciation’ or ‘understanding’ of homosexuality from the average American. You can forget about trying to persuade the masses that homosexuality is a good thing. But if only you can get them to think that it is just another thing...then your battle for legal and social rights is virtually won” (25).
•Part of the homosexual agenda is to get the public to affirm their filthy lifestyle, as one homosexual admitted in the October 1987 homosexual rally on Washington: “We are no longer seeking just a right to privacy and a protection from wrong. We also have a right — as heterosexual Americans already have — to see government and society affirm our lives” (27).
•Part of the homosexual agenda is to turn people from Christianity: “The teaching that only male-female sexual activity within the bounds and constraints of marriage is the only acceptable form should be reason enough for any homosexual to denounce the Christian religion” (1).
•Homosexuals knowingly lied (and still lie) about the 10% figure (i.e., homosexuals make up 10% of the population). As Tom Stoddard (formerly of the Lambda Legal Defense Fund) said, “We used that figure when most gay people were entirely hidden to try to create an impression of our numerousness” (17).
The true number of homosexuals.
•The Kinsey study of 1948, which homosexuals often cite to say that 10% of the population is homosexual, actually says that only 4% of the population is EXCLUSIVELY homosexual. This study involved a disproportionate number of people who had been in jail for sex crimes (hardly a random sample of the population). Kinsey also did perverse studies involving young boys and pedophiles. Information on Kinsey.
•Current research shows that the true percentage of homosexuals is in the 1-2% range (15,23,26,28). Consider how small this number is when compared to most of the numbers above.
Homosexuals aren’t discriminated against in employment, so why should they be a protected class?
•The average yearly income of a homosexual is $55,430.00 (most of which is disposable because no children to take care of!). The average of the general population is $32,144.00. The average of blacks is $12,166.00 (24).
•59.6% of homosexuals are college graduates. 18.0% of the general population are college graduates (24). Too bad they aren’t smart enough to listen to God. “Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22).
•49.0% of homosexuals hold professional/managerial positions. 15.9% of the general population hold such positions (24). Where’s the job discrimination?
Sexual Orientation
•A phrase that has come up recently in this earth is “sexual orientation.” This is a phrase made up by homosexuals to try to make themselves look less filthy than they really are. The purpose of the phrase is to take the spotlight from what these perverts do, and put it on the notion that they are just poor, mistreated people, who simply are attracted to members of the same sex - as if they aren’t engaging in activity forbidden by God Almighty. “Sexual orientation,” as used today, has nothing to do with sexual activity (yeah, right), but only refers to who or what a particular person is attracted to. If you think that people of other “sexual orientations” are just fine, let’s see what other “sexual orientations” you would necessarily have to accept as wholesome and pure. If you’re not going to discriminate based on “sexual orientation”, then you must not discriminate against any of the following. If you discriminate against any of these, you’re a hypocrite. These “sexual orientations” are generally known as “paraphilias”, and are mental disorders - just like homosexuality used to be (29).

I can't vote for him, but I can send him a check.
Andy, I hereby blast your remark as a stunning example of heterophobia, and a glaring disregard for Natural Law, upon which this nation was founded.
Don't know if you are aware, but the current Governer, David Paterson, as well as the previous one, Eliot Spitzer, were trying their best to get same sex marriage approved in NY by the stroke of the pen. I think Paladino was just trying to reassure his audience that in no uncertain terms will it happen on his watch.
Does the AP think we should find these comments controversial?
I would say yes to that.
Did you notice this in their quote from Paladino?
“That’s not how god created us....”
**
That’s right no capital “g” for God. I guess only we uneducated, backwards beleivers use the capital letter now.
The way they state this about the 29 states is very misleading. They make it sound as if it is some kind of law in those states, but it is the absence of a specific anti-gender-discrimination law that they are talking about.
I wasn’t addressing the rightness or wrongness of Paladino’s statement at all. I was only speaking to the guy who said it’s up to the pyschos to decide. That’s why I replied to that particular comment, not to the first comment in the thread.
I have no idea whether it will help or hurt Paladino. I can see valid arguments both ways. Your position is certainly plausible.
I just wasn’t speaking to that question
at
all.
