The Republican candidate for the governor of New York state has been condemned by both conservatives and Democrats for saying that he did not want his children "brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality" was "an acceptable option".
Carl Paladino, a property developer-turned-politician, was accused of raising the risk of attacks on homosexual men. He was trying to strike a contrast between himself and Andrew Cuomo, his Democratic rival, who once took his young daughters to a gay pride parade.
In a television interview yesterday, Mr Paladino said that he did not discriminate against gays, and employed a gay nephew.
But he repeated his opposition to gay marriage and, referring to homosexuality, added: "That's not how God created us, and that's not the example that we should be showing our children".
I think a balance has to be struck on this whole minorities issue. Research has proved that less than 2% of the adult population of the UK, is Gay or Lesbian or whatever the other thing is. If you look at the papers and TV programmes you would think that more than half the population was gay. Take QI for instance, a programme popular with my wife. The host a Mr Fry, is a Homosexual who claims abstinence from buggery. The whole programme is laden with references to Homosexuality throughout and in my opinion, shouldn't be shown on the BBC at all.
This whole agenda has been pushed on British Society along with mass immigration and it is going to lead to riots at some point. The general population will only take so much. I realise that minorities have to have rights, but they shouldn't have more rights than the majority. Homosexuality is not normal or else more than 50% of the population would be doing it, which may be the case for all I know. But I doubt it! I wish that we had politicians in this country of the calibre of Mr Paladino, who would stand up for the rights of the majority.
