Paladino Attacks Gays in Brooklyn Speech
By ELIZABETH A. HARRIS

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.

Addressing Orthodox Jewish leaders, Mr. Paladino described his opposition to same-sex marriage.

“That’s not how God created us,” he said, reading from a prepared address.

“I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don’t want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option — it isn’t.”

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.

A recent CNN pollfound that 58 percent of people in New York were in favor of gay marriage.

5. I'm still amazed that this scumbag was able to win the Republican nomination for Governor of New

York. I know I shouldn't be but it is still shocking. Those racist, disgusting emails were out. They KNEW who this guy was and picked him. It still is amazing. Is nothing out of bounds anymore? I guess not. He continues to disgust and amaze - and they picked him. What a condemnation of the entire Republican Party of New York.

6. Sadly, hate and ignorance aren't limited geographically-it exists everywhere....

At least New Yorkers have SOME alternative. Here in Mississippi, my choice is to vote between a Republican who hates me and a Democrat who merely dislikes me a lot.

Life is good in Dixie....
