*This is some of what Paladino has said, and all of it is offensive.* *If you agree that pro-gay legislation should be vetoed, as Paladino has vowed to do if elected, then you are as anti-gay and homophobic as Paladino is.*
I quote: *Paladino told the Jewish leaders in Brooklyn that he didn't march in "the gay parade this year -- the gay pride parade," while Cuomo did. * *"That's not the example we should be showing our children, and certainly not in our schools" he said. * *"And don't misquote me as wanting to hurt homosexual people in any way. That would be a dastardly lie. My approach is live and let live," he said. * *"I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don't want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option," he said. "It isn't."* *Paladino vowed that as governor he would veto any bill legalizing gay marriage or civil unions.* On 10/12/10, Keith In Tampa <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good Evening Tom, > > You, nor anyone else that I have seen you post articles from, has > identified what specifically it is that you, (or they) find offensive > that Mr. Paladino purportedly said.
