Palin: Homosexuality is a choice I didn't make

[FLAprogressive]

Did you see her say that during her CBS EN interview tonight while talking about her lesbian friend? Ugh this woman is so vile and so are the Log Cabinettes that endorsing her candidacy. They are such a disgrace to us LGBT folk.....

[gaiilonfong]

1. I am sooooooo happy she didn't choose

As a gay man I am happy she didn't choose, I didn't choose either, but I am and I am happy and in a relationship for 20 years

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

9. I hope you can marry if you choose to n/t

[daninthemoon]

2. Maybe Sarah is actually gay, but CHOSE to play straight.

[LostinVA]

27. This "homophobes are really gay" shit is really tiresome

[LoveIsNow]

29. The problem is in the overuse of "homophobe"

The statement actually holds true for the crazy serial killers who target gays, etc. It is not however true for religious/old/redneck/and so on people who hate us. If you look at homophobia the phobia it's true, but that isn't what we mean any more when we say "homophobia".

[LostinVA]

30. Whatever

Enjoy your stay.

3. You make it sound as if she was tempted!

Dang, I wish I could watch this interview, but I'm going to a play tonight. Do you remember exactly what she said?

[FLAprogressive]

7. She was talking about her lesbian friend of 30 years....how she made a "choice"

Don't have a link yet -- I'm sure it will pop up.

[FLAprogressive]

19. Here it is on YouTube

4. Why doesn't anyone ask her

exactly when and how she made this choice?

[JuniperLea]

5. Gays must not really be gay at all...

They just like being the butt of idiotic criticisms and Fundy outrage sooooo much!

:eyes:

[aquart]

6. So, you were tempted but decided not to?

Good flaming grief. Funny, where she's willing to give people a choice and where she's not.

[FLAprogressive]

10. "You were raped by your father? Too bad because you're having that baby". What a vile woman

Yet she thinks we can choose who we love. Horrible horrible person.

[GodlessBiker]

8. I wonder what her longtime lesbian friend thinks of Palin's opinion on this.

[Faygo Kid]

11. I chose in first grade.

I remember noticing my teacher in 1957 with shapely legs in high heels.

He was hot. ;-)


Seriously, I actually do remember her, but didn't make a "choice," of course. I hope somebody asks Stupid Sarah when she made her decision.

[Swede Atlanta]

12. But her hubby is very cute

These ignorant souls would have us believe that people would choose a "lifestyle" that is contrary to their environment in terms of job, family, etc.

She thinks this is something one just chooses. As a gay man I can tell you this is no choice. Further as a spiritual person I can absolutely and categorically challenge Palin's view that this is some form of mistake or wrong. God has made me the way he has for whatever reason. Mine is not to understand why but to fulfill the promise of what has been given.

Why can't these sex-possessed Christians understand this. What I don't get is why they are so concerned about what happens in a bedroom? They are truly shallow and not of God's world.

[FLAprogressive]

13. Excellent post! n/t

[Mnemosyne]

14. "God" made people gay to teach fundies compassion.

It's not working!

What an idiot scum pig Palin is.

[FLAprogressive]

16. Is that their reason?

They're more nutty than I thought!

[begin_within]

21. Here's a Democrat to look at instead of him...

California state assemblyman Dario Frommer (D-Glendale)

[xchrom]

15. so at what revelatory moment did sarah chose to be straight? nt

[EC]

17. I wonder just WHEN she made that choice?

Can she pin-point the age when she figured out she felt an attraction to other women, but gee, I'd rather ignore that and be with a man, even though I can't stand having him fuck me?

[FLAprogressive]

18. PALIN'S STATEMENT ON VIDEO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkuIQH0z-RQ

[joeybee12]

20. I was actually not as offended as I thought I would be...

...pretty ignorant, but anyone remmeber a guy named Bill Richardson?

[Duncan Grant]

22. Wow, a cultural competency training from Sarah Palin! Amazing.

She has some nerve. :grr:

[bigscott]

23. what a huge surprise (NOT)

spouting the right wing "line" on choice. Why is anyone surprised at this bullshit? the woman is dumber than a box of rocks and people continue to get worked up when she makes a stupid statement like that.

I will be more worked up if she ever - in her miserable little redneck life - utters a SMART comment

Peace

24. good for us. this is another person we can add to the list of shitty straight people

and not on the list of shitty gay people. which, i am proud to say, is a much shorter list.

[TechBear_Seattle]

25. Which still begs the question: Did she *chose* to be heterosexual?

If sexuality is a choice, and if one choses to be homosexual, then it must follow that one also choses to be heterosexual.

I would be most interested in asking Governor Palin about how and why she chose to be heterosexual.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

26. however stupidity is a choice i did make.

and by i, i mean sarah palin

[Karl_Bonner_1982]

28. Then let people "choose" freely, including marriage!

Isn't this supposed to be a free country, Ms. Palin?

[JonLP24]

31. So she had a choice?

She just suddenly chose to be sexually attracted to males?
