Republican Carl Paladino, a tea party candidate for governor of New York, said Monday on NBC's "Today" show that he doesn't discriminate against homosexuals. On Sunday, in a discussion of gay marriage at a meeting with Brooklyn Hasidic Jewish leaders, Paladino said children were being "brainwashed" into accepting homosexuality as "valid."

Paladino asked Lauer on Monday if he'd ever attended a gay pride parade, explaining to the NBC host that men who participate "wear these little Speedos and they grind against each other and it's just a terrible thing." Thank God someone said it...those Gay Pride events are sickening and vulgar...it is just a raw display of perverts...so much for keeping it in the bedroom huh?

I’ve never understood what they’re so “proud” about.

TTWBNWP ...

This thread will be nauseating with pictures.

[rushmom]

Paladino is absolutely right. I hope he doesn’t back off or adopt a defensive mode. If New Yorkers in the main don’t want to vote for him because of those comments, they deserve the state they get.

“those Gay Pride events are sickening and vulgar...”

They seem calculated to generate disgust and revulsion. My theory is that these particular individuals are self-loathing and consequently self-destructive.

[chickadee]

Wow, this Paladino guy has guts. Even if he doesn’t win - maybe NY Repubs will grow spines for future elections.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Anyone with a child in public schools knows that the school system and this society "brainwash" children with the "homosexuality is good" mantra.

How can anyone advocate a life style that literally takes decades off a man's life?

[Antoninus]

Wow. Speaking truth to power.

Go Carl!

Finally, some pushback actually FOR children and young people.

Liberals have been loving them to DEATH for 40 years!

[MayflowerMadam]

What he said is what the majority of Americans believe about the homosexual community. When will the liberal elite face the facts that they’re out of touch with America?

[Sherman Logan]

Male homosexuality reduces the lifespan by about 10x the reduction of being a heavy cigarette smoker.

So which behavior has become unacceptable, even being edited digitally out of old movies?

[a fool in paradise]

When will the liberal elite face the facts that they’re out of touch with America?

With powers of position in education, media, and the psychiatry profession, they can declare it to be the new normal. It is heresy to not accept their faith.

Dear kids......your loving Federal gov PSA says,

DON'T drink and drive.

DON'T ride a bike without a helmet.

DON'T smoke, or do drugs.

DON'T play soccer without your knee pads.

DON'T get pregnant, or get a STD.

DO tell your friends at middle school and high school, that you think you are a homosexual, a lesbian, a bi-sexual, or a trans-gender.

And then tell your parents, listen to Lady Ga Ga, call MTV, and the “Ellen” show because they may put you on the air.

Of course, then you will have to call “Dr. Phil”, Larry King, and Kathy Gifford because you are being bullied, and thinking about suicide.

Paladino’s openly homosexual nephew works on his campaign. Paladino loves him. You can disagree with the homosexual agenda and lifestyle and still love the person. This man is proof of that.

[Genoa]

Paladino is speaking - clearly - the language spoken and understood by everyone north of Manhattan.

How can anyone advocate a life style that literally takes decades off a man's life?

What's hilarious is that the gay mafia actually tries to dispute this fact. 20% of gay men have HIV (a disease that never found its way into the hetero population, as we were warned it would), they have astronomical hepititus and STD rates and they use illicit narcotics at a higher rate than any other group on the planet... but there's no dimished life expectancy there. Of course not.

A love Carl Paladino for standing up to these people. This is a debate this country needs to have right now. Bring it on.

Amen to that!

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

"diminished"
and
"A I love Carl Paladino for standing up to these people."

Preview, dammit, preview.

[Friendofgeorge]

I love this Paladino guy, he is right on!!!

Speaking as a dirty rotten sinner saved by Grace, homosexuality is a sin and a disorder. Gay pride parades are certainly not suitable for children, let alone adults.

Nobody should be involved in homosexual activity, nothing at all to be proud of.

Also Paladino is right on abortion,he said incest.rape etc, is still no excuse to kill a child
