Sarah Palin: Sexual Orientation is a Choice

Not that it should be any surprise, but VP candidate Sarah Palin - who could not name a single newspaper that she has read - let the cat out of the bag that she believes one's sexual orientation is a choice. Given her church affiliations which have her deep in the embrace of Kool-Aid drinking nutcases, why would Palin worry about the fact that EVERY legitimate mental health and medical association (and legitimate does NOT include Paul Cameron and similar discredited whack jobs) disagree with her belief? A hallmark of the Christianists is that they NEVER let reality or inconvenient facts get in the way of their agenda. Here's a brief highlight from The Baltimore Sun:

*

Palin herself brought up the issue of homosexuality as part of a discussion about what kind of church she belongs to in Alaska. She told Couric she belongs to no church but attends several. She tried to knock down published reports that one of them, the Wasilla Bible Church, held a conference which included gays attempting to be made straight through prayer.

"But what you're talking about, I think, (is) my position on homosexuality and (whether) you can pray it away," Palin said. "And you know, I don't know what prayers are worthy of being prayed.... But as for homosexuality, I am not going to judge Americans and the decisions that they make in their adult personal relationships. I have one of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years happens to be gay, and I love her dearly. And she is not my 'gay friend,' she is one of my best friends who happens to have made a choice that isn't a choice I would have made. But I am not going to judge people."

Not surprisingly, to date no one has been able to identify Palin's alleged gay friend. Based on Palin's other lies, made up stories and distortions, it very likely the person does not even exit.
