NY gubernatorial candidate ripped as ‘anti-gay’

Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino told Orthodox Jewish leaders on Sunday he doesn’t want children “brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality” is acceptable.He made his remarks while trying to strike a contrast between himself and his opponent,Democrat Andrew Cuomo.Paladino said he chose not to march in this summer’s gay pride parade but his opponent did.”That’s not how God created us,” Paladino said of being gay, “and that’s not the example that we should be showing our children.”He added that children who later in life choose to marry people of the opposite sex and raise families would be “much better off and much more successful.”I don’t want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option,” he said.What do you think – will this help or hurt the Palladino campaign?
