Ben Carson Apologizes for Saying Being Gay is a Choice

by Washington Informer March 5, 2015October 30, 2020

(USA Today) – Presidential hopeful Ben Carson apologized Wednesday night for saying being gay is a choice, following a backlash over his assertion that prisons are evidence that homosexuality is an option. […]

In this March 8, 2014 file photo, Dr. Ben Carson, professor emeritus at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, puts his notes back in his pocket after speaking at the Conservative Political Action Committee annual conference in National Harbor, Md. Carson’s publisher will review allegations that the conservative activist failed to properly credit sources in his 2012 book “America the Beautiful.” The allegations were raised by a BuzzFeed article that listed numerous examples of passages in Carson’s book that closely resemble material which first appeared elsewhere. The book was co-written by Carson’s wife, Candy Carson. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, File)
