Washington (CNN)Retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson apologized for commenting Wednesday that prisoners' changes after they leave jail proves being gay is a choice, but said that the science is still murky on the issue.
In a statement, Carson said he "realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues."
"I do not pretend to know how every individual came to their sexual orientation. I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended," he added.

He can’t take the heat, he needs to get out of the kitchen.
Not ready for prime time. Fork - done.
I had a sociology professor who taught that all deviant behavior was learned. If you argued that perspective you got an A in the “deviance in society” class.
“Can anyone name one time a lib has apologized for ANYTHING they have said? Just give me one.”
EXACTLY...and that is PRECISELY WHY the Republicans cannot figure out how to fight them. They simply DO NOT CARE about anything from their past. NOTHING.
Not that he was a candidate with his 2A views, but this hear sinks him for good.
Our candidate had better stand up to the whiners in the press and on the left and say what they believe - and stick by it, or he/she gets no vote from me.
He should have said:
“Over 80% of homosexuals were sexually molested as children.”
Deviant behavior. Like it? Go to your room. No more voting for you until you repent. We’ve allowed too many proponents of deviant behavior the privilege of voting. And it *is* a privilege, not a right.
This is not addressed to you specifically, TB.
Carson’s like Graham. Running for VP.
Some of the people engaged in prison sex are not willing participants, they are raped.
He’s off of my list.
Damn! No one left anymore with courage?
Screw him.
Autocastration pathology strikes again.
Only conservatives apologize; liberals never do. President Obama never expressed remorse for calling conservatives "teabaggers," nor did Jesse Jackson for "Hymietown."
His wife is a former, yes FORMER lesbian.
Ask her how and why she changed orientations, if sexual attraction is "unchangeable".
Political correctness is so powerful, even people like Ben who know what it is can’t stop themselves from submitting to it like a girly man.
Bill Ayers and other members of the Weather Underground engaged in partner swapping and same sex relations to “smash monogamy”. Ask William if he still craves a butt buddy.
Many were groomed by an older partner.
The deviants are in academia and they are grooming students in primary school.
So much for the lie that it’s only about consenting adults in private. It’s being brought to children in public.
Wild Bill Hickok-1872
Go away Ben Carson. Take your book-sale novelty-candidate campaign elsewhere.
I saw him this week on a tv show and he had all the personality of a potted palm.
