RE:” Dr. Ben Carson: Prison sex shows being gay is a choice
Asked why, he went on to explain his prison theory. “So did something happen while they were in there?” he said. “Ask yourself that question.”
Actually, please don’t. It’s entirely possible to defend the traditional definition of marriage and even the position that sexuality is a choice without citing prison sex as an indicator. Even some in the LGBT community see sexuality as a choice rather than innate, and the real answer probably lies somewhere in between — and individually, all over that range.
This is the kind of answer that makes it pretty clear that Carson’s winging it.”

He was asked a question and its wasn't a bad answer.
He should have expanded on that example.

One of gays rights supporters main arguments is that sexual orientation and identity are NOT choices, they are fixed like race and sex. (the last one is truly ironic)

That is how they make it a constitutional right. Otherwise smoking would be a constitutional right too.

Good point.

Prison rape (very little consensual gay sex is going on in there) has nothing to do with being gay. It has to do with subhuman animals satisfying their urges and victimizing weaker men, because they can. No one "goes in straight and comes out gay". Scumbags go in and come out scumbags, non-violent offenders go in and come out emotionally damaged and with hepatitis.

And once again, whether "gay is a choice" or not is completely irrelevant vis a vis "gay rights". Is necrophilia a choice? Say it's not, do we then let dudes marry dead bodies, no. At least not until necros get politically organized as well as the gays are.

Ben Carson is like a poor man's Herman Cain. He's not gonna be a major factor in the race. He's woefully under-qualified and under-prepared. A novice. If he had half a clue he wouldn't have sauntered down this ridiculous street. I agree with the article that he's "winging it". And have we forgotten his stance on guns?

I'd say he should take a look at the MD Senate race, but he'd lose.

He should be considered for HHS Secretary, that's about it. . And have we forgotten his stance on guns?

Well, for most of the guys in prison, it kind of is something that they do to get some kind of pleasure in a gender segregated environment. I would say that sometimes the act is an obvious choice. But the attraction is a separate category altogether. However, the problem comes where I doubt their genes programmed them to be promiscuous or commit other risky behaviors. I am sure that some of them don’t need that many orgies or partners.
