Paladino: “I’m Not A Homophobic,” Equates Gays With “Pornographers And Perverts”
Carl Paladino, the Tea Party-supported GOP gubernatorial candidate for New York, who has greatly offended the LGBTQ community — and anyone with decency — this weekend, continued his assault on New York minorities by attacking the gay community.
He claims his approach is “live and let live,” yet attacks homosexuality as not being “an equally valid or successful option.”
Paladino talks about the suffering his gay nephew endures from bullies, and decides that it’s his nephew’s homosexuality, not the bullies who torment him, that is to blame.
Holy cow!
