http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ben-carson-prisons-proves-homosexuality-choice-video-article-1.2136882Prisons prove being gay is a choice because many people enter the slammer straight and walk out gay, potential presidential candidate Ben Carson said Wednesday.
The Baltimore neurosurgeon made the outlandish claims to television host Chris Cuomo on a segment of CNN’s morning show “New Day” after the anchor asked if he thought people had control over sexual orientation during a discussion about same sex marriage.
“Absolutely,” Carson began his bizarre argument. “Because a lot of people who go into prison — go into prison straight, and when they come out they’re gay. So did something happen while they were in there?”.

Homosexuality is the right choice.

Can you really argue with such a brilliant mind?
Straight people go in, gays come out. You can't explain that etc.

> neurosurgeon
This just makes it even more painful.
This is a highly educated man, as well as the fact that he's important enough within one of the USA's main parties to be considered as a presidential candidate. And he says this...
Fuck, American poltics frighten me, sometimes. Though I can take some consolation in that the more extreme republican presidential candidates didn't make it last time.

During primaries, candidates usually say extreme things because only the most die-hard politically involved people show up to vote that early on in election season. Once it gets closer to the general election they stop pandering so much to the fringes and rush towards the middle. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if he actually believed this. Republican candidates have been pretty quirky recently.

I suppose that's somewhat comforting, but I'm still unsettled by this.

I disagree that prisons prove homosexuality is a choice.

Thank you for that sage reminder. It is worth keeping in mind.

All it proves is that there are a lot of black homos that use the situation as an excuse. I say the doctor is a big fag too, and "chose" to not act on it. That's why he thinks it's a choice.
