With the official end of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell yesterday, we bring you one of the more ridiculous remarks by a Republican presidential candidate about “The Gays!”
In his 2008 book called On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For, Rick Perry made this observation;
“Even if [homosexuality] were [a genetic predisposition], this does not mean we are ultimately not responsible for the active choices we make,” he wrote. “Even if an alcoholic is powerless over alcohol once it enters his body, he still makes a choice to drink. And, even if someone is attracted to a person of the same sex, he or she still makes a choice to engage in sexual activity with someone of the same gender.”
Comparing alcoholism to being gay. Just the person we want leading the greatest “most free” nation on earth!
