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

I agree. It just isn’t said or allowed to be said in NY.
I WANT TO VOTE FOR HIM!!!!
10 years ago and for thousands of years prior...this idea was held by vast majorities....
UNTIL the propaganda 24/7 on TV and in the Schools....Day of Silence and Sex Ed which is used to normalize homosexual sex....
Then, VOILA!....we see all the atheist, Darwinism young adults who worship mother earth and believe in hedonism saying it is good to be gay......
It is just slick propaganda to destroy, marginalize and make the Bible extinct—eliminate that awful Christianity—and then to destroy the Natural Family so the Marxists can raise all the dysfunctional children to be little Marxist autobots who are the State’s slaves.
This country (I’ll say it again!) is based on Natural Law Theory which condemns (and thoroughly by Founders)this unnatural, learned behavior.
It is learned and demands pederasty...that is why Ginsberg wants it legal to have sex with 12 year olds.
They are all mentally ill and their identity is perverted.
Lenin knew he would have to destroy the family unit because it created individualism (because of Christianity) and loyalty. Biology creates loyalty and Marxists can’t have that...they want the commune to be equally loved, etc.
Marx and Lenin try to subvert Natural Law...it is why the theory is a fraud and won’t work.
How refreshing to see a politician speak the truth. He has more guts than most conservative talk show hosts.
Good. About time someone said this. Needs saying in the worst way—especially in NY.
I’m gonna take the minority view on this (and probably get clobbered) but—
I like Paladino but I don’t see where his comment gets our side anything. Plus, he creates a straw man issue that, later on, can be used against other conservative candidates by the lamers in the lamestrem media. Such as:
“Mrs. Palin, do you agree with Carl Paladino that homosexuals are blah balh blah?”
The fact is, it is the province of pyschologists to determine what is dysfunctional behavior. Even if I agree with Paladino’s opinion of gays, politicians need to stick with public policy matters, especially while they are running for office and even more so while governing. The dysfunction Paladino should be focused on is the insane taxing and spending that goes on in Albany.
Many Republicans know and love a gay person. Some of the gays are in their families and don’t like their loved ones being called dysfunctional. I don’t think it’s smart politics for Paladino to be so in-your-face about it. Flame away.
What did he say that was factually wrong?
Can someone really say its not abnormal? (being 1% or so of the population, if that, would say its NOT normal)
The fact is, it is the province of pyschologists to determine what is dysfunctional behavior.
Well said.
The main stream of American citizens have been putting up with the homosexual agenda for political corrections sake. The tide has turned! They have to realize that while we don’t condone that behavior, what they do in their bedroom is their business.
The Libturds will go nuts and well more than half of NYers probably disagree or can be scared into disagreeing.
Then Carl needs to not back down and tell them they can go ahead a vote for a corruptocrat who will bankrupt the state paying off his cronies and when they have even worse social problems and sky high taxes they can look in the mirror.
Good. The man said he wasn’t going to be PC!
Well, there goes Greenwhich Village, the Upper West Side, Chelsea. Park Slope and Fire Island. Oh yeah, and half the male HS teachers on Long Island.
I live in NY state and twice the creeps have tried to pass homosexual marriage. Without voter input. One man, one woman has passed in 38 states INCLUDING California. Good for Paladino! Now we know where he stands!
My brother is homosexual and it IS a dysfunctional life.
You forget disease and pathogens.
“The fact is, it is the province of pyschologists to determine what is dysfunctional behavior.”
I do not think gays should be persecuted in any way shape or form.
But the bottom line is, homosexual behavior is NOT the ‘system’ operating as designed, shall we say.
Sorry in this case, cold hard facts determine what is “dysfunctional”— as relates to the perpetuation of the species, not politically correct analysis paralysis psychobabble.
I was curious as how one goes about donating their "status". I followed links and saw this:
Access my basic information Includes name, profile picture, gender, networks, user ID, list of friends, and any other information I've shared with everyone.
And this:
# Send me email Human Rights Campaign may email me directly at xxxxxxxx@comcast.net ·
# Post to my Wall Human Rights Campaign may post status messages, notes, photos, and videos to my Wall
These well meaning "joiners" are willing giving away the farm identity wise. I wonder how many of these kids could give a coherent definition of exactly what transgender really means?
Sigh. I know. Yet so many people here will blindly cheer Paladino not realizing how big a gaffe it really is. I happen to agree it is an incredibly destructive lifestyle, but society (especially in dark blue states like NY) has largely become very tolerant of homosexuality and making a point of condemning it in such strong terms is just terrible politics. Some things are just better left unsaid.

That said, I don’t have to identify someone as dysfunctional to oppose gay marriage. Would you accept Obama calling people who attend tea party events “dysfunctional?” Would you concede to him or any liberal politician a grasp on what constitutes “dysfunction”—?
We need candidates who can stay focused on the issues. Not play the role of pop psycholgists. There are plenty of them.
