Ben Carson Says Prison Sex Proves Being Gay Is a Choice

That didn’t take long. On Tuesday, Ben Carson announced his presidential exploratory committee. On Wednesday, in an appearance on CNN, he caused a firestorm by sharing his view that prison sex proves that homosexuality is a choice.

CNN’s Chris Cuomo asked Carson about gay marriage and drew an analogy between laws that allowed slavery and laws that banned gay marriage. Carson, a retired neurosurgeon who has never run for public office, responded that the comparison was not apt because people have no control over their race, but they do over their sexuality.

“Because a lot of people who go into prison, go into prison straight and when they come out they are gay.”

Slate’s Mark Stern wrote about the “myriad elaborate biological factors at play” in determining orientation a year ago, pointing out, “Male sexuality … is clearly fixed from birth.” And the Washington Post quickly rounded up a few horrified experts.University of Tennessee professor Helen Eigenberg has studied the topic of prison sexuality throughout her career and put it succinctly: “The fundamental assumption of the analogy he’s using is insane.”link

So, according to article, it is inarguably an inborn trait in which the science community can't find a precise explanation. The one reasons they may have found is only LIKELY the cause of 15 to 30 percent.

Also, he mentions a gay guy that said it is a choice. But, the author tried to explain that the gay guy doesn't know himself.

 

If they find a gay gene will the left allow abortions to avoid having a gay child, I believe a high percent of parents will make that choice just like they are with Down syndrome fetuses.
If this happens then the only gays left will be ones by choice.
Will science cause the extinction of homosexuals?

 

What if they found a Liberal gene! Think of the possibilities!

 

Gee who knew that a brain surgeon could be an idiot?

I mean he knows how a brain is constructed and can accurately use a scalpel!

 

It is not that simple. Although you hope it is.

 

Well, in fact, science shows that there are inherent differences between conservatives and liberals.

Right wing morons may not be able to change the fact that were born right wing morons. Or in your case a douchebag.

 

Apparently neurosurgeons don't have to take biology.

 

Or in your case, the gay experiments you've done with your brother.

 

I guess the leftard assumption that the prof from Tenn has is that they were never really normal when they went into prison. They were deviant fruitcakes to begin with. With prison came opportunity.
