New York gubernatorial hopeful slams gays
The Republican candidate for governor, Carl P. Paladino, told a gathering in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, on Sunday that children should not be “brainwashed” into thinking that homosexuality was acceptable, and criticized his opponent, Attorney General Andrew M. Cuomo, for marching in a gay pride parade earlier this year.
“That’s not how God created us,” he said, reading from a prepared address.
And then, to applause at Congregation Shaarei Chaim, he said: “I didn’t march in the gay parade this year - the gay pride parade this year. My opponent did, and that’s not the example we should be showing our children.” Newsday.com reported that Mr. Paladino’s prepared text had included the sentence: “There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual.” But Mr. Paladino omitted the sentence in his speech.

File this under "scary people running for office - '10 edition." Seriously, if this isn't "anti-gay" I'd imagine the only thing he considers to be involves concentration camps. I find it hilarious the fact he employs a single "one of them" makes them think they're progressive, all the while spewing this crap.
