White House Adviser Valerie Jarrett Apologizes for Calling Homosexuality 'Lifestyle Choice'
Fox News ^ | 10/14/10

Posted on 10/14/2010 1:15:02 PM PDT by truthandlife

White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett apologized to the gay community Thursday after she referred to homosexuality as a "lifestyle choice" during a discussion about the wave of recent teen suicides.

"I meant no disrespect to the LGBT community, and I apologize to any who have taken offense at my poor choice of words," Jarrett said in a written statement.

The Obama confidante made the off-hand comment in an interview Wednesday with The Washington Post. She was talking about a speech she delivered Saturday to the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights group, on teens who've killed themselves after being bullied over their sexual orientation.

In praising the parents of one teenager who killed himself in Minnesota, she said: "These are good people. They were aware that their son was gay. They embraced him, they loved him, they supported his lifestyle choice. But yet when he left the home and went to school, he was tortured by his classmates."

Although I agree; Sorry, I don’t get why you’re responding to me in this manner.

Your position is using their argument, that some psycho/physiological “trigger that means you look at the same sex the way the rest of us look at the opposite sex then you still have a “choice”…

And what is the, “rightful order of things. They just choose not to.”

So, is this “rightful order” 1%, 3%, 5% of population… or the 10% being what “Homo-Leninists” have been pushing as propaganda for the last 30 years. Instead, I would point out there is no social redeeming value of homosexuality as a government sanctioned class and a fallacy biologically; there are only Female, Male and defectives.

Does anyone drink Chablis these days? :) Most people seem to drink a variation of the martini, a mojito or whatnot.

I’m not sure why you got defensive or why you thought I was attacking you on some point.

Because your response to me makes no sense.

Not “defensive” at all.

Curious to what point you were addressing from my initial post.

unnatural

Of course it is just that, and as much as they try to convince otherwise it is NOT NATURAL. The proof comes back to science. If any two homo's of the same sex are put on a deserted island.. what would their children do in two years?

Okay, trick question but you get the point... they (homo's) don't.
