NYC Town Hall Attendee Asks Ben Carson 'Do You Think I Chose to Be Gay?'
Politics“That’s a long conversation” was Ben Carson’s response to a person who challenged the GOP’s slumbering marsupial candidate on whether being gay is a choice.
The lovely encounter with Carson happened after a town hall meeting on Monday in Staten Island, New York and dials back to a previous statement he made in March during a CNN interview—“A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight,” said Carson at the time. “And when they come out, they’re gay. So did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question.”
This incredibly smart guy later apologized for his gaffe, writing on Facebook: “I realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues.”
