Republican presidential candidate and Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Friday that gay people are "probably" born that way, conceding that view during a testy exchange with a gay voter at a California event.
Asked by Kelly Bryan, a gay 62-year-old man, during an event at the Commonwealth Club of California whether people are "born gay," Kasich first attempted to avoid answering the question.
"I'm not gonna get into all the analysis of this or that," Kasich said at the San Francisco town hall. "I'm not gonna do that."
But the questioner pressed again: "It's not analysis. Are people born gay?"
Kasich replied, "You know, sir, probably."
"I mean, I don't -- I don't know how it all works, OK?" he added. "I mean, look. Are they? You know, probability they are."
Asked whether the LGBT community deserved "free, regular rights like everybody else," Kasich said: "Well, you have free regular rights, we're not denying you any rights, I'm not in Ohio. I'm not out to discriminate against you. I think you ought to have as good a life as anybody else."
The Ohio governor also noted that he had recently attended a same-sex marriage ceremony.
"I don't agree with gay marriage," he said. "But I'm not -- I went to a gay wedding. OK? I mean, that's what I've done."
Earlier, Kasich had said, "A buddy of mine just got, you know, went, got married. My wife and I went to the wedding. It was great. It was fine. But I'm not going to go for some constitutional amendment."
When asked about Mississippi's and Kentucky's legislation allowing businesses to deny services to same-sex couples, Kasich suggested that he did not agree with them and argued that he has the "right to define the Republican Party too."

Yeah... and people in prisons become homos because of their capacity for their defective judgements.
It’s nuture, not nature. Never met a homosexual in my life that had a strong father that taught him how to be a man. Most were dominated by their mothers. And as far as lesbians go no such thing exists because the vast majority of them are overweight women that can’t attract men to start with so they start sleeping with other overweight women. Then you have a legion of women who where married for years and have children then all the sudden at age 50 they decided they like to sleep with women. Homosexual behavior is sex, sex, sex. “Love” has nothing to do with it. When women can go back and forth between men and women in sexual relationships they are sex addicts. Same thing with men.
it’s been shown that identical twins, if one is born gay, then both should be gay, and if only one turns out gay, than that is a choice.
Right away, this question is based on a false premise and is designed to create headline-grabbing news that show Republicans as being insensitive or intolerant of the gay agenda.
if people are “born gay,” is it possible people are born hetero?
In requiring people who go into business to serve everyone, the government is denying people who are inclined, for whatever reason, to not go along with the majority on that issue. This is huge and should require something compelling. Breaking resistance to race-based discrimination was warranted by the harm done to those discriminated against, as a result of an effective, society-wide conspiracy to restrain trade. But, there is no evidence of systematic discrimination against gays.
Besides, what does “equal rights” mean when there are no rights? We’re talking equal benefits, not equal rights.
It is clear that it is an aberration. Sex is for procreation which is an impossibility for homosexuals.
Also, it is indeed genetic, then wouldn't homosexuality eventually become nonexistent — certainly gays can procreate with heterosexuals but there would always be the two strikes against them resulting in fewer and fewer homosexuals over the generations.
IMO, there is a point in early development when a person bonds with the opposite sex and something happens that to homosexuals to make them bond with the same sex.
And finally, sodomy is clearly unsafe and unhealthy and any doctor who claims that it is, is being coerced and probably threatened.
Born homosexual.
HOMOSEXUAL, because there’s nothing GAY about it.
And John must have been born delusional. If he were a Chicago Blackhawks fan, he’d be insistent that that the Blackhawks will win the Stanley Cup this year.
One thing is for sure...
Heterosexuals have abortions... 113,000 a day, globally! A far more grievous crime.
since when is GOD a hypocrite and a liar.....NEVER,GOD doesnt say that its an abomnation and make someone born gay...
I am totally stealing that line!
This guy just gets creepier and creepier everytime he speaks.
All behaviors are learned and habituated——and “role” models-—or LACK of role models (the Natural Family unit) will determine WHAT behaviors are embedded and “believed” by the children. Boys in Afghanistan grow up to lust after males, boys and goats because of their environment ONLY, and they learn to hate and mutilate women and girls. All operant conditioning—modeled behaviors of child abuse.
All unnatural, evil behaviors are learned by child abuse and neglect. There is NO SUCH THING as a child born to desire anal cavities or sex with goats.
Kasich is such a brainwashed, stupid, petty puppet of the sodomite elites who are trying to flip 2000 years of ethics back to the pagan “Man/Boy Love” days of the Greek and Romans and todays muslims and the super elite Ba’al worshippers who desire the boy sacrifices.
ALL BEHAVIORS ARE MADE NORMAL BY CULTURE. They are using operant conditioning to destroy Virtue formation in our children today—removing them from their parents—putting them into an artificial “group-think” factory-—to WARP ALL their behaviors and emotions (for the NWO of total slavery. Vice is slavery and Socrates knew it back 2500 years ago that if you destroy moral formation in children, you collapse civil society—for slavery/feudalism/socialism/serf/tribal cultures of slavery).
lie from the pit of hell
A VP in the spirit of John “Bucket of Warm [Spit]” Garner, Spiro Agnew, Dan Quayle, and Algore. A VP for our times!
Exactly. Best answer.
Professor Kasich, after extended study, has rendered his verdict.
Thank you, Einstein.
OMG.....Please please please don’t choose this guy as your VP candidate.
Obviously he does NOT know about the various twin studies out there. There is no scientific proof that people are born gay.
I think there are addictions that one inherits or inherits the risk of addictions, eg alcohol, drugs, sex. If you look at homosexuality as an addiction it makes sense, as there is frequently an end stage.
The MAJORITY of homosexuals were MOLESTED AS CHILDREN.
Yes, I have links and data.
Furthermore, their mothers are dominant overbearing harridans with weak ineffectual fathers, thus distorting the natural patterning of the child to his parents.
He is the perfect example that some people are born terminally stupid.
