Log Cabin Republicans Support Palin
The Log Cabin Republicans - a gay group that endorsed John McCain and described running mate Sarah Palin as "inclusive" - today defended Sarah Palin, who this week said being gay is a choice.
Comparing Palin's "non-judgement" to that of other Americans, communications director Scott Tucker released the following statement:
“In this interview, Gov. Palin expressed her support for a gay friend of 30 years and reiterated that she doesn’t judge people. She said she’s ‘not going to judge Americans and the decisions they make in their adult personal relationships.’ Frankly, I think that’s where most Americans are in their attitude toward gay and lesbian people.”
Gov. Palin didn’t ramble uncomfortably about a ‘lifestyle’ or use the opportunity to reiterate her opposition to marriage for gay couples. She didn’t use the opportunity to express opposition to any gay rights legislation. Gay Democrats are pouncing on her use of the word ‘choice’ in talking about gay people…Again, I think that’s where the vast majority of Americans are on this issue-they simply don’t know whether people choose to be gay.
We know that people don’t ‘choose’ their sexual orientation and we’ll continue educating all Republicans about that issue.”
