Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Tuesday, Oct. 4, blasted Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain for asserting during an appearance on "The View" earlier in the day that homosexuality is a choice
"It’s shockingly out of touch and insensitive for him to suggest—outdated, ancient—and sends a terrible message to gay kids, to gay Americans that somehow they should be treated differently and that we don’t recognize that sexuality is simply a matter of the way you were born," said the Florida congresswoman after she spoke at an Immigration Equality fundraiser in Washington, D.C.
Wasserman Schultz conceded that she had not heard that Cain had made the assertion until this reporter asked her to comment on it.
"I totally disagree with Herman Cain," she said. "Homosexuality is not a choice, it is something that occurs through birth. It’s hereditary."

When conservatives like Cain make these comments I don't think they're asserting that people "choose" to be gay. I think they're just saying that the decision to act on a same-sex orientation is a choice, and to them it's a bad choice. Better to be miserable and celibate, I guess. We'll never get these people to accept that homosexuality and heterosexuality deserve equal treatment.
