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

“Cuomo doesn’t think the people of NYS are equal to *him*, and we’re supposed to get all worked up about his statement regarding homosexual equality?”
Homosexuals are equal, but they want special rights.
You know what’s funny, though? The majority of NYers are against same-sex so-called “marriage,” and now Cuomo has publicly and strongly come out in favor of it.
“I can’t believe your comment. So you’re saying that homosexuals are actually nicer than normal people.
Anyone who’s seen photos or footage of “Gay Pride” parades or read what their sexual habits are, the diseases that are common among them, or their agenda especially in public schools, knows that the homosexual life and agenda are dangerous.”
Can’t believe what comment, that I know some nice gay people? I never said gays are nicer than normal people, so you can keep your words out of my mouth. Gays are like everyone. I’m sure many gays are nicer than some staight people and vice versa. It depends on the person. I just don’t share your opinion that all gays are these disgusting disease ridden people. You’re wrong.
Oops! beleivers = believers
Please stop calling me a liar. I am speaking of children, young people, innocents. I do not want to talk about what gay adults do, for the purpose of my argument that children are BORN this way.
Have you spent any time with little girls who want to dress in boy’s clothing, have a rough little rounded voice like a boy, and hate all dolls and fairies and whatnot, but love sports? Have you spent any time with little boys who love to play with dolls and stuffed animals, color their fingernails with markers, and who love pink and glitter? Their conservative parents did not make them this way.
Ask Lynne Cheney. There are a LOT of moms you can ask.
You are WRONG. These kids do not choose. This is how they are born. You are condemning the innocent.
The incidence of sexually transmitted diseases is incredibly higher among homosexuals. Did you not know this? Much higher than among normal people.
Here are some facts:
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).

You are condemning kids to a life of miserable sexual perversion by repeating the lie - it is a lie, it has never been proven scientifically, even by those who looked for evidence - that anyone is born homosexual.
The countless numbers of former homosexuals are evidence that you are lying.
No, you want poor homosexuals to remain in darkness and enslaved to a life that keeps them from normal family and sexual function.
You are the cruel mean person who wants homosexuals to remain in the darkness of mental illness.
You are the heartless person who wants to prevent homosexuals from seeking help from organizations that can help heal their affliction.
When I was a little girl for several years I only wanted to wear pants (this was in the early 50s when little girls routinely wore dresses and skirts), I wanted to dress as a cowboy, and played active games and was not much interested in girly stuff (ever). Fortunately my parents had not heard of the homosexual agenda and didn’t consider anything strange with my behavior.
Children are all unique and have unique interests. Your sentimental lies based on some kind of subjective tunnel vision (you keep bringing up your or someone else’s personal experience as though that was some kind of scientific study) is supposed to mean that homosexuals are born “gay”?
Well, how about this one - some kids lie, no one teaches them. Some kids lie becaucse their parents lie, so it seems normal. Guess what! When they get a bit older they can decide not to lie, or get trained out of it.
Your support of the outright, hellish lies of the homosexual agenda are not going to get me or others to shut up. In fact, I may even search you out to argue with you because lies that keep poor suffering people in the darkness of mental illness and perversion and early death make me angry! I want people to be free of suffering, not lie to keep them imprisoned in the so-called “gay” life, which is NOT gay, not happy, not normal, but also not engraved in stone - because they can change, if they want to, and if they know they can, and that there are people out there to help them.
Doesn’t suffer fools - take a look at ArrogantBustard’s link.
That isn’t nice, normal, natural or healthy. That behavior is due to severe mental illness. These people need help, not acceptance, tolerance or excuses.
They hate Natural Law because they hate the Author.
I’m not sure which position you think is vindicated. Can you be specific?
Another example hows Cuomo and leftwing liberals/progressives are Christianphobes.
He just ended his campaign with this.
It's obvious that when Paladino calls "gays" dysfunctional, he's referring to activist, in-your-face, "gay marriage"-at-any-cost homosexuals who have embraced the lifestyle and want everyone in society to affirm this fully as well at the point of a gun. The context is "marriage" here, and he is making the point of defining what marriage is and its benefits.
Oops.
If the ultimate intent was the former, then the early Nazarenese were operating in line with an early rabbinic idea called Derekh ha-Eretz, leading Gentiles to faith by de-emphasizing ritual mitzvot and emphasizing universal ethic concerns, with the hope that the Gentiles would eventually take on the Torah willingly.
If the ultimate intent was simply that Gentiles follow the universal Noachide commandments, the Nazarenes were in agreement with Judaism as it is taught today.
Either way, there's no Biblical basis to attack them on this issue.
The problem is not and has never been whether Gentiles should keep kosher, but on Gentile Christians enforcing the violation of kashrut on Jewish disciples of Yeshua as some kind of twisted test of faith. That did open the door for all sorts of deviant heresies, since it changed the issue from, "Is every mitzvot a universal, or are there some that are specific to certain groups?" to "Can the Eternal One's commandments be annulled by a later revelation?"
If God can annull Sabbath, Passover, kosher, and the other commandments that He formerly declared that we should keep forever, throughout our generations once, then the Christian cannot logically object to later groups--Muslims, Mormons, Watered-Down Politically-Correct "Christianity," etc.--who claim that the commandments were changed again.
Shalom.
Someone brave enough to speak the truth about homosexuality in the face of politically correct wisdumb. That takes courage.
Quick addendum to my earlier post: Does that mean, xzins, that everything not specifically mentioned in Acts 15 is acceptable for the Christian?
Shalom.
Finally, a politician willing to state the truth. Yes, the fecal eaters are sick and no matter how you defend their right to consume human waste teaming with 10 to the 8th bacteria per gram, it ain’t the lifestyle marketed by homowood.
I think you’re right. Statism is the mortal threat to the republic - homosexuality is simply one of the vehicles the left uses to advance it. That is not to say that homosexuality isn’t a threat to the most basic and successful social construct of humanity - marriage and the family, but in attacking the symptom (homosexuality) instead of the problem (marxism), you leave yourself exposed to the left’s hyenas in the press and weaken your position in the bigger fight.
