This article describes offensive, homophobic remarks made by New York's Republican gubernatorial candidate, Carl Paladino, in his recent speech to Orthodox Jewish leaders.
Why does Paladino oppose homosexuality so adamantly? Because, according to him, it's "not how God made us".
It's interesting that even in the liberal state of New York, and the extremely diverse burrow of Brooklyn, such an individual can even garner the support to make it to the candidacy stage. This is a prime example of the utter lack of disregard for seperation of church and state that continues to expand, multiply, and pervade throughout the nation.
This should and is being considered an outrage by many. It's more than a matter than should concern secularists like myself; it's a matter that should concern all those that value the American ideals of acceptance, tolerance, diversity, and keeping religion OUT of politics.
