Herman Cain Thinks Being Gay Is A Sin And A Choice

Confirming that the ex-gay agenda is the underpinning of anti-LGBT rhetoric, yesterday Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain offered his belief that homosexuality is both a sin and a choice.

Watch it:

Cain can believe what he wants about sin, but sexual orientation is not a choice and cannot be changed, so he is flat-out wrong to say otherwise.

This comment comes on the tails of his remarks earlier this week that he would have no problem appointing openly gay cabinet members because he wouldn’t have to worry about them imposing Sharia Law. He has also indicated that he supports “traditional marriage,” would reinstate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and would veto the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.
