"Homophobia" - is Carl Paladino right?

Carl Paladino is a New York American running for political office. He happens to be Catholic and a Republican. Recently he spoke out against homosexuality and is being nailed to the cross by the liberal American media. Poor Carl, like Joseph McCarty, he has no idea of the forces being garnered against him. I'm surprised French strikers haven't gone to the streets to protest his statements.

But is Paladino right?

“One’s own religious views can come into this issue. I respect that…I have my own views as a practicing Catholic…but I keep them to myself, and I don’t think bigotry and hatred belong in a debate about who’s going to be the next governor.” Paladino expressed another legitimate concern he has - that of a perception being created that it's OK to be homosexual. I concur with him. It's not!

Why, in recent history, has the fact that one is a homosexual become a political and media issue? The question beggars an answer. Dare I opine by saying that it is part of an agenda to craft and glue together several artificial "minorities" to create an artificial "majority"? Unions, blacks, women et al, and now homosexuals?

Recently I attended the funeral of a friend. One of the sons is a very handsome young man. As I chatted with him and shook his hand I commented, "You've got the best looks of all your brothers." He recoiled by pulling his hand away from mine in a shocked fashion. What? Did he think I was gay by paying the guy a compliment?

I'm aware of gays in my extended family. I don't condemn them for being that way - it's what happened tothem. However, I do condemn the act. That's how it is for you, I understand. But don't try to tell me it's normal behavior and it's OK to be gay. And don't think you're special because you are gay. Where'd you get that idea? From the American liberal media?
