Carl Paladino | Don't Be 'Brainwashed' Into Thinking Homosexuality Is 'Equally Valid

Carl Paladino spoke on gay rights to a group of orthodox Jewish leaders in Brooklyn today:

We must stop pandering to the pornographers and the perverts, who seek to target our children and destroy their lives. I didn't march in the gay parade parade this year -- the gay pride parade this year. My opponent did. And that's not the example that we should be showing our children, certainly not in our schools. (APPLAUSE) 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. I just think my children, and your children, will be much better off, and much more successful getting married and raising a family. And I don't want them to be brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid or successful option.
