I am flabbergasted by the crude remarks that trickle out regarding homosexuality. In it’s newest case, New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino stated that children should not be "brainwashed" into believing homosexuality was tolerable. The comments, which stem from Paladino’s Catholic faith, are not surprising since he boycotted New York’s gay pride parade. Although same-sex marriage cannot be legally performed in New York, the language used by Paladino suggests children have a choice regarding their sexual orientation. I can only hope that such demeaning words will take him out of contention for election. At the very least, given the recent developments of Tyler Clementi, one would think such commentary would sit on the back burner.
