Asked if he's gay, Booker says: 'So what does it matter if I am?'
Star Ledger NJ.com ^ | August 27, 2013

It's a question he has been asked in the past, but this time it came amid a campaign for the U.S Senate.

In a profile that appeared in the Washington Post on Monday, Newark Mayor Cory Booker was asked about the persistent rumor that he is gay.

"People who think I'm gay, some part of me thinks it's wonderful," Booker told the interviewer, "because I want to challenge people on their homophobia. I love seeing on Twitter when someone says I'm gay, and I say, 'So what does it matter if I am? So be it.'"

When asked about the interview by The Star-Ledger today, Booker said it was his plan to stick to the major issues in his race against former Mayor Steve Lonegan of Bogota, a Republican, and that sexual preference should not be an issue when voters go to the polls on Oct. 16.

"I don’t intend to answer," said Booker, who was returning from Washington after attending a meeting with President Obama on gun violence. "It should not matter. That was my point."

Lonegan’s a socialist I’m not following here... ‘splain, please...

No, Booker is a socialist and clown. I guess I worded that badly.

Lonegan is just a bad campaigner who can't win (couldn't even if the Chrissy and Jersey GOP lifted a finger to help, which they won't because he's not a country clubber), which is why it's a shame he's the only serious Republican that even ran. We're just handing this seat away to this maybe homosexual definitely socialist doofus, Booker.

Why couldn't that dumb SOB Chrstine have appointed someone besides a crony to be a seat warmer? Useless tub of lard.

Melt him down, and use the oil.
