Carl Paladino is clarifying his comments on homosexuality, telling NBC’s “Today”:
“My feelings on homosexuality are unequivocal; I have absolutely no problem with it whatsoever. My only reservation is marriage,” Paladino said. The gubernatorial hopeful noted during the interview that he would recruit gays to serve in his administration and currently has homosexual staffers working on his campaign.
“I say that unequivocally I will be a governor for all the people of the state of New York and I’ve never moved off of that position,” Paladino said.
He does have a major correction for some media reports however:
Paladino’s campaign had said that several media outlets initially reported that the gubernatorial hopeful had said: “There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual.”
He said he had read the written remarks before speaking publicly, but “crossed out that remark.”
“That is not me, period,” he said in the interview.
Paladino did express his displeasure at what he sees at gay pride parades saying children shouldn’t be exposed to “grown men grinding on each other.”

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 11:51am1) There is no “gay agenda” being pushed in schools. I’m a college student-unlike you, I actually attended public schools in the past decade. Don’t worry, the (optional) sex-ed I got didn’t even touch on homosexuality; there was a chapter in the back of the health book that we didn’t cover, as the teacher was a homophobe. However, many gay parents are offended at the straight agenda pushed through every bit of literature their kids read in school.
2) Sure, you’re offended by pretty boys dancing in their underwear on the streets during PRIDE parades. NO ONE’S MAKING YOU WATCH THE PARADE. And also, it‘s their one day of revenge for the other 364 days of the year where I have to watch straight couples gettin’ it on, on the subway, in the parks, on the beach, on television. I’m straight, but I’d much rather watch the pride parade than look at the cheerleaders parading around half-naked at every. single. football. game. ever.
3) The people who make this about imposing your religion on everyone else: Regardless about what YOU think, THEY have a constitutional right to religious freedom. If their denomination is willing to recognize a lifelong bond of love and companionship between two men, who are you to object? Divorce rates are 50% in this benighted country; I find that a bigger offense to the sanctity of marriage than allowing gay marriage. At least gay couples are ATTEMPTING to keep marriage sacred…unlike certain politicians on wife #3.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 12:30pmI was wondering where you got your information that being gay was ultimately genetic as that has NEVER been proven so who are you to declare that? Also, being that you are a college student leads me to believe you are liberal by the basis you haven’t grown up yet and experienced real life from the working class point of view being that of parenthood and REAL responsibilities. My children should not be subjected to ANY type parade where anybody is grinding on anybody regardless of sexual orientation. It‘s easy to say you don’t have to look at it, but assuming you don’t have kids, that‘s just more I have to deal with to protect my kids from stupidity since they don’t understand it and shouldn‘t be led to believe it’s acceptable on any front.
Supergreak, go and seek true leadership and not just a bunch of babbling liberal professors you subject yourself to everyday. REAL Americans let their actions speak for themselves and understand when to speak up and when to shut up. Try practicing the latter….

You must be kidding. Get your head out. I think this was settled with the movie, “Brokeback Mountain” No one watched. I don’t like to see anyone hanging out of their closthes or grabbing each other in public either, however, many of my favorite movies show tasteful love scenes between men and women. I watch these movies over and over. I would not EVER want to see even a so-called tasteful homosexual love scene.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 12:55pmThree points you tried to make:
Report Post »1. Deny the gay agenda…it does exist.
2. You feel that you have a right to rub your sexual practises in the face of the normal public..NO!
3. Homosexuals are no different than normal people in the duration of their relationships. In fact, they are known for being more promiscuous and having more mental problems than normal people (i.e. suicide, depression). Religion has nothing to do with it (unless you’re one of the Westboro Bastards). Homosexuals are not like the other 98% of people in the world and their sexual practices will never be deemed as “normal”. So get over it, learn to live with the other 98% of us who don’t wish to know your sexual proclivities, and get on with your lives!

I was more surprised that he was not strictly gay due to his very effeminate manners, and told him as such. He seemed shocked that I had already knew he was not straight and asked me way I had not asked. I said because its none of my business. I choose my friends on the content of their character. The only time I object is in public displays of vulgarities and insistence that I approve of the actions. Because many gay rights groups appear to have gone past the points of tolerance and equal treatment to forced approval and protected status.

Being a homosexual is not a choice and that is my opinion and I will never change it. If you are not gay, not matter what is being taught in school, it is not going to affect you. If you are gay and struggling with this problem perhaps something you learn at school will prevent you from killing yourself over the whole situation. This is a serious issue in our communities and parents as well as the churches are failing these young people who are troubled with this – perhaps the school can in some way help them out. I am for anything that will keep a young adult from jumping off a bridge somewhere and ending their life, rather than live with intolerant parents or churches.

STATEMENT OF CARL PALADINO
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK
(NEW YORK, NY) – In reaction to inaccurate media reports of his comments to Orthodox Jewish leaders today in Brooklyn, New York, Carl Paladino issued the following statement:
“In my speech today to Orthodox Jewish leaders in New York City, I noted my opposition to gay marriage, inspired by my Catholic beliefs. I also oppose discrimination of any form. I did not say this phrase, as was inaccurately attributed to me by some media outlets:
“There is nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual. That is not how God created us.”
I do not agree with this passage, nor did I say it. Apparently a few reporters relied upon suggested remarks distributed by my hosts at the synagogue in Williamsburg after my departure, not the actual statement I made. My campaign staff has worked with the inaccurate outlets and most corrected their stories after viewing video of the event.
I unequivocally have no other reservations about homosexuality. I enjoy a close relationship with my nephew who is gay and I certainly consider him to be a functional child of God.”

Posted on October 12, 2010 at 6:09amI went to high school in the late 60′s. We had a psych teacher who was old, gay and a predator who lured young male students who wanted to drive his new sportscars and go out to his lakeside home for parties, into sick relationships based on blackmail.{ GOT THE BOYS DRUNK OR DRUGGED,VICTIMS WOKE UP IN BED WITH THE PERVERT AND WERE TOLD THAT THEY MUST BE HOMOSEXUAL OR WHY ELSE WOULD THEY BE IN HIS BED ]. Two of my male friends told me how they got caught in his vile little game. One was my boyfriend who was ultimately so confused and humiliated that he was severely messed-up. I swore to keep his secret, and I kept my promise until the teacher targeted my brother a couple of years later. Then I told my mother and she went to the principle. The creep was fired way too late for everyone concerned. He was a wealthy man who used the school as his hunting ground. On the one hand, maybe if we had known in podunk Clackamas what homosexuality was all about, this type of predator would have been seen for what he was and avoided. But I firmly believe it is the parent‘s choice in this and NEVER the teacher’s place to suggest to any student that this is all just normal behavior. The 2 gay teachers I have known were both creepy, manipulative and slowly persuasive about getting very young boys in their beds. “The inevitability of gradualism”? At least 4 boys the psych teacher became‘ friends’ with turn up at our class reunions with wife and children. So was teaching about the gay sexual acts really something he needed to teach the boys? Definately not up to the teachers….they have way too much influence and power over forming little minds that are trapped by law in their orb. Teachers should stick to reading, writing and math! Mr. Paladino is right!

The gay agenda is simple. Convince children that homosexual activity is as normal and acceptable as heterosexual behavior and all other ideas on the subject are hateful, homophobic and to be avoided at all costs. Of course, they don’t present the downside of homosexual behavior — the drugs used to facilitate the activities, Gay Bowel Disease, rampant AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases , the dangers of cruising and the higher rates of suicide and depression. It would be nice if they did.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 12:09pmD. I think this has already been unequivically established, at least by those of us who stayed informed. The “gay parade” photo is worth a thousand words. This is the objective to the gay agenda. To have this sort of thing totally accepted and on every billboard, TV programs and commercials, etc. etc, you name it. This is the true objective of the gay agenda, to make all this behavior acceptable in all its flamboyant glory.
I know there are many decent gay people and gay couples, however, why don’t they speak out against the full on elementary school indoctrination of the leftist agenda. It is so wrong.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 12:17pmMany of the people on this blog do not appear to have children, especially boys. There is a concerted liberal agenda in schools, with “exercises” designed to show boys how “we are all equal”. So much so, that one of my boys was made to write a journal “as if he was the girl character in the novel they were reading”. The girls were not made to wirte as if they were a boy character, only the boys were. Homosexuality is a very sad situation, one that ends up limiting the lives of otherwise wonderful people, one that brings pain and suffering to those that “chose it”. And, there may be many that are born that way and cannot help it, but I’m an adult and I can SEE that many many so-called homosexuals are there from peer pressure, trying to “fit in”, trying to “be different”, trying to “distinguish themselves. The homosexual community lives in its own cocoon, and embraces all, without questions. There is no “test” as to whether you are a homosexual by birth or not. So, invariably, and sadly, many of our recent youth are making this unfortuante choice. LITTLE KIDS HAVE NO BUSINESS LEARNING ABOUT THIS. They don’t need to know this even exists. I would not take my little children, boys or girls to any place where gays are displaying their physical affections, just like you wouldn’t take them to a female strip joint, or show them an XXX rated movie.
If our leaders aren’t allowed to set down the truth about what is right and what is wrong, then who can? Does Obama rule for “everybody”, when we repeatedly see that his policy and those around him aim at helping “our people”, the black community, the unions? Does Obama keep himself unbiased and impartial? Clearly not. You cannot ask Palandino to live to a higher standard than the leader the liberals have chosen themselves. It goes both ways.

You don’t think there is an active and insidious movement going on in schools across the country? Here in Indianapolis, one of the local colleges wanted a private business to make special cupcakes for the “National Coming Out Day” when the business declined, they were not set up to do that kind of order, the group screamed the normal tripe – “homophobes” et al. They are now trying to force this business out of their location, one that they have been in for twenty years. No agenda? RIGHT!

Posted on October 12, 2010 at 11:10am@WALKWITHME1966 You’re obviously out of the know. I’m conservative and at the moment living out here on the left coast, California. My wife was told that my 10 year old would be taught “homosexual tolerance” in class; my wifes response, “NO WAY!” Of course the school officials were ready to attack my wife on this until she stated,” Why are you singleing out one specific group to teach about tolerance? Why don’t we teach the children to be tolerant of everyone who may be different or look different or maybe speak differently? It’s wrong for you to teach tolerance of one group but not to teach tolerance and respect for everyone who may be different.” Their response, “crickets chirping” not a peep. What rights, exactly, are homosexuals denied? Most states have civil unions but is this not enough? No, they want to be able to force churches to legally marry them in the house of God, if the church refuses because it’s against church policy AND the Bibles teachings, then they are waiting with their lawyers, ready to sue.
Report Post »Here in California a well known wedding photographer turned down a request from two gay men to photograph their wedding. The photographer stated that this was against their religious views and referenced them to another photographer “who does outstanding work”. The gay couple sued the photographer and won a judgement against them. The photographer was NEVER hired- they just stated up front that they would not photograph the gay couples wedding due to their own beliefs, was sued for that and lost! WTH! Sued because you don’t want to do something due to your religious belief and loss- now that is TRUE loss of freedom.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 10:12amChildren shouldnt be exposed to grown men or men grinding on each other. It doesnt matter if they are the same or different genders. If he isnt going to make that clear then he is making himself out to be a bigot.
Its such a shame, I had high hopes for Paladino. We really needed someone to beat Cuomo and to see Paladino self destruct just because he’s too selfish to keep his personal opinions to himself is very disappointing.
Not that it would be right to vote him in just because he’s the lesser of two evils, and thats my view now. He still would be better, but if he cant speak his mind without showing an obvious bias, then he isnt likely to make policy without a bias either. Again, Cuomo isnt any better and in my opinion, Cuomo is still worse.
Theres no point in me voting now because I couldnt possibly vote for someone just because they would benefit me personally.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 10:25amPaladino is such an upstanding man of honor when it comes to things sexual; be sure to check out the video he emailed his friends of a young woman having intercouse with a horse. Apparently, bestiality=good, homosexuality=bad. Go ahead and vote for this guy, but think twice about letting him take your daughter out to his friend’s ranch for the weekend.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 12:41pmIf this is a defining issue for this election, than the diversion has already worked. Like was said before, where is he on the real issues? That’s what counts in this election. No matter what he says in the matter, won’t get him the gay vote, period! It’s a diversion, and that is all it is. Let’s urge support on his belief in smaller government, and let’s get the unions out of our faces! I sure hope Paladino has good mafia ties…..

As for the horse picture he e-mailed, I imagine it was a male horse engaged with the woman?… If so, why the hatred of heterosexuals? Why the hate Ronnie?

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 8:10pmLet’s be honest, Gay Pride Parades have a rep for being really riske and sexually explicit. I don’t think they are any place for children either. TMI too soon. In that light, I don’t think he was being bigoted at all. Also the propaganda in schools is not true tolorance, but “brainwashing” of a type. It is also not the schools’s place, and it is often TMI way too soon. I have a cousin that has a partner, and her partner got impregnated and they raise their son together. My children saw that and didn’t even comment, because I didn’t make a big deal of it. OK. Now my son is a teen, and he thinks it is weird, but is still OK with it.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 9:09pmWell said TEAPUTTS.
I think the Tea Party is great and is what America is all about – citizens voicing their opinions. But what I don’t like is the fringe, which I think is bad for the Tea Party and bad for this country. This Paladino guy is a good example of how the fringe embraces any candidate that is anti-Obama regardless of character. If you look at the video I posted above you‘ll notice Paladino doesn’t try to deny he forwarded photos of bestiality or racist jokes.
He’s also admitted that, as a married man, he had a child with another woman (I’ll give him credit for honesty). But for those of you who like to quote the Bible: “Thou shalt not commit adultery.” The Seventh Commandment.
He’s not a Christian or family candidate. Adultery, pornography and racism is not an accusation, it’s part of his public record. Why would anyone embrace this kind of candidate?

Report Post »The video you posted APPEARS to implicate him, though, after it was over, I was not sure whether he actually DID or not. As he got in the car,he said he forwards lots of e mails. So, maybe he did, maybe he didn’t. I think it always prudent to KNOW what you are forwarding.
I agree with many, that he is unconventional, which I DO find refreshing, but I don’t know enough about him to make a decision, so i will continue to observe.

Posted on October 11, 2010 at 10:43pmC. Schwehr– Thank you for reporting my post about Paladino’s bestiality email to theblaze for review. Nothing will happen, because what I stated is true. You can verify it yourself; don’t take my word for it. Labeling things you don’t want to believe as lies may offer you comfort, but if you ignore the truth, well…. good luck with that.

Posted on October 12, 2010 at 2:42pmProbably not the wisest terrain to walk into, but Paladino is a Catholic and Catholics along with countless other Christians do see homosexuality as a sin. To attack a man based on his religious beliefs because they happen to be politically incorrect seems like the left’s same old Christianity bashing. His statements make it clear that he has no intention of discriminating against homosexuals and his position on marriage seems to be the same as Barak Obama’s. From my perspective the problem isn’t so much with homosexuality as it is with the attempt to re-label something as non sinful which has been recognised as sinful by the majority of believers from the Jews to the Christians and the Muslims for thousands of years. There are many sins that are far worse than the act of homosexuality, and to deny ones religious beliefs for the sake of fickle public opinion may perhaps be one of them

Posted on October 12, 2010 at 2:52pmA question for you Jack Rackham: One passage from the Bible says this: “If a man lies with a male as with a women, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives.” (Leviticus 20:13 NAB)
So do you believe homosexuals should be “put to death?” If you believe homosexuality is a sin, must you not also believe in the punishment given in the Bible?

Posted on October 12, 2010 at 5:09pm@ JZS For the record I do not support the levitical punishment for homsexual acts, neither does the Catholic Church or any other denomination that I know of. Frankly I dont get too bent out of shape about it but as a member of a church I can’t just pick and choose which rules I agree with. Of course knowing the rules doesn’t mean that I never break them, that is the fallen nature of man. Everyone falls short of the ideals we hold dear, but my point is that as a Catholic, I can‘t pretend something isn’t wrong just because current trends say its ok.
