Say Goodbye Mr. Paladino

Today, in addition to it being Columbus Day, we celebrate "National Coming Out Day" - an internationally recognized civil awareness day for coming out and discussion about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender issues. So of course, it's disheartening to read and hear Republican gubernatorial candidate Carl Paladino's foul and idiotic statements about brainwashing children into thinking that homosexuality is acceptable. That, and his inappropriate statement regarding gay pride parades that reads, "They wear these little Speedos and they grind against each other and it's just a terrible thing. Why would you bring your children to that?" Yes, he has a right to free speech. But there's something to be said for being tactful - especially from someone who wants to be a leader. I think he's just sealed his fate. Say goodbye to the governor's seat.
