Dan Savage To Herman Cain: Prove Being Gay Is A Choice | News | The Advocate
Not exactly eloquently delivered, but the point still stands. When are Presidential candidates going to stop harping on these petty social issues and actually address the core problems in our country? Stop marginalizing minorities with your ignorance and bile in order to get ahead. It makes America look bad and frankly, the actual experts on the subject have clearly demonstrated that people's sexuality is hardwired. Your ignorance is not equal to their knowlege, so STFU already.
Dan Savage has challenged Republican presidential hopeful Herman Cain to perform a sex act on him to prove that being gay is a choice.
The "It Gets Better" activist was incensed at comments Cain made to CNN's Piers Morgan earlier this week. "I think it's a sin because of my biblical beliefs," Cain said on Wednesday. "And although people don't agree with me, I happen to think that it is a choice."
On his blog Savage posted an open letter to Cain:
Dear Herman,
If being gay is a choice, show us the proof. Choose it. Choose to be gay yourself. Show America how that's done, Herman, show us how a man can choose to be gay. Suck my dick, Herman. Name the time and the place and I'll bring my dick and a camera crew and you can suck me off and win the argument.
Very sincerely yours,
Dan Savage
But Savage had more to say: "When someone argues that being gay is a choice, he's not just insulting gay people. (And ignoring the science of sexual orientation.) He's insulting straight people. If homosexuality is a choice, then so is heterosexuality. Last night on CNN Herman Cain said that being straight is something that a straight person can take or leave. Herman Cain believes that heterosexuality is something a heterosexual can decide to walk away from, like a underwater house or a lousy meal. Straight people should get angry when they hear a straight person making this argument."
