Tweet With the city reeling from one of the most vicious Beautiful wives seeking hot sex korean dating hate on gays in recent memory, guv hopeful Paladino yesterday said shouldn’t be taught that homosexuality is OK. “I don’t want our - brainwashed into thinking homosexuality is an equally valid option,” he said in a speech to Orthodox Jewish leaders in Brooklyn. The 64-year-old Republican also criticized his opponent, Attorney General Cuomo, for taking “his two daughters to march in a homosexual parade.” Cuomo’s campaign pounced quickly when hearing about the speech. “Mr. Paladino’s statement displays a stunning homophobia and a glaring disregard for basic equality,” wrote Vlasto, a Cuomo campaign spokesman. Newsday reported that early scripted comments in Paladino’s stump talk went even further, including the sentence: “There’s nothing to be proud of in being a dysfunctional homosexual.” But Paladino’s campaign manager Caputo denied the phrase “dysfunctional homosexual” was in the script. The polarizing remarks come in the wake of a recent spate of high-profile anti incidents in the New York City area, including the violent torture of men in the Bronx last weekend by gang members. Caputo condemned the Bronx attack, saying “beating up anybody is against the law.” He defended Paladino’s remarks, pointing out that he also said in the speech, “I’m not anti. I believe in ‘live and let live.’” A spokeswoman for a advocacy group in the city slammed Paladino’s comments. “People are being told by … an elected official that lesbian, bisexual and transgender people aren’t worthy of equality,” said, a founder of Queer Rising. “The bottom line is we know (-) violence is a result of a culture of violence which starts with relatively casual comments like, ‘That’s so,’” said Stapel, director of the city-based Anti-Violence Project.
