Hey, all you gay people - you choose to be that way!! (at least that's what Huckabee says)

:hide:

Well that's what Mike Huckabee says

What a fucking asshole he is. Sure, the guy is probably the most charming of the republican nominees but he's still a fucking asswipe nutjob.

BTW, you have to appreciate the irony of Raw Story's ad placement

1. My first reaction is to say So What?

I understand why innate sexual orientation is important. I also believe it shouldn't matter.

[Droopy]

3. Yes

Choice or no choice, it's okay to be gay.

10. Quite right. Personally, I think people just are the way we are...

straight, gay, or somewhere in between.

But even if people did choose a particular place on the scale, what difference does it make? Why would anyone else care?

2. Looks like he's drawing a distinction between action and what we now call orientation.

Basically, being gay is not a sin as long as the individual either lives a life of monastic solitude or endures (and puts someone else through) a sham marriage. Apparently the god who made them gay in the first place demands the impossible standard of denouncing their basic human nature.

Even if the Huckabees of the world convinced me that Jehovah is real, that would only win them half of the argument. I still would him as evil.

4. Hey Mikey "I'll tolerate straight people...

..if they act gay in public".

Huckabee is the worst kind of political opportunist. All peace, love and understanding when it suits him and ...well.. you know the rest.

5. Dont knock him, he is going to save us from Pakistani illegal immigrants

:rofl:

[NoPasaran]

6. I'll play devil's advocate here

See, it's like this:


Some people are born assholes.


But posting in GD: Politics, that's a choice.

7. Is that picture on the left Huckabee when he was younger?

He's definitely got the Huckabee nipple!

[DarkTirade]

8. I just have one thing to say...

9. You're gay by association

Or so your mother thinks!
