Say It Ain't So Already

Cain: If Gay People Just Take a Shower They Can “Wash” the Gay Off

Until now, the idea that gays and lesbians could “pray away” their sexual orientation was the most ridiculous thing I’d heard surrounding that issue.  But voila, leave it to Herman Cain to come up with something even more absurd:

This is Cain on Piers Morgan’s show on CNN last night:

Cain: I think it’s a sin because of my biblical beliefs and, although people don’t agree with me, I happen to think that it is a personal choice.

Morgan: You believe that?Cain: I believe that.

Morgan: You think people wait — you believe people get to a certain age and say, I want to be homosexual?

Cain: Let me turn it around to you. What does science show? Show me evidence other than opinion and you might cause me to reconsider that…Where is the evidence?

Morgan: You’re a commonsense guy..You genuinely believe that millions of Americans wake up in their late teens normally and go, you know what, i kind of fancy being a homosexual? You don’t believe that, do you?

Cain: Piers, you haven’t given me any evidence to believe otherwise.

Morgan: My gut instinct, Herman, tells me that it has to be a natural thing.

Cain: So it’s your gut instinct versus my gut instincts. I respect their right to make that choice. You don’t see me bashing them. I respect them to have the right to make that choice. I don’t have to agree with it. That’s all I’m saying

Morgan: It would be like a gay person saying, Herman, you made a choice to be black.

Cain: You know that’s not the case. You know I was born black.

Morgan: Maybe if they say that, they would find that offensive.

Cain: Piers, Piers. This doesn’t wash off. I hate to burst your bubble.

Morgan: I don’t think being homosexual washes off.

So, the bottom line?  Take a damn shower folks!  (Does it matter what kind of soap you use?)

Geezus.  What a ignorant simpleton.

Oh, and P.S.  My 56-year-old brother has taken a shower or two in life and he’s still gay.  Is there a certain kind of soap people are supposed to use?  Help me out here Herman.
