[Santander]

What is with these self-righteous people who attend town halls of candidates they have no intention of voting for and ambushing them with gotcha questions in order to get 15 seconds of fame?

[RI]

I don't really see how this is even a political question.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

I want to like him for his politics so much, but just the food and the pancakes, ugh...

I'm surprised he isn't a Christie yet.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I don't really see how this is even a political question.

For a politician... when it comes to issues on sexuality, gender and access to rights and facilities, whether or not you believe that someone is inherently how they present themselves does matter.

Let's imagine someone asking a question like this at a political event in, let's say, 1860.  He would either be arrested or kicked out, or worse.  Not saying those days were better!  But still, just imagine.

[The Other Castro]

Let's imagine someone asking a question like this at a political event in, let's say, 1860.  He would either be arrested or kicked out, or worse.  Not saying those days were better!  But still, just imagine.

At that event, it would be more along the lines of "Blacks are 'probably' human". Something is wrong when we're setting the bar at 1860's America.

[Kingpoleon]

But the Headlines read:

Kasich on Discrimination: NOT IMPORTANT, GAYS! "TAKE A CHILL PILL!"

Seriously, clickbait titles are the main "scandals" of Kasich's campaign.

[NeverAgain]

End it, Kasich. Next, we'll be hearing about how abortions should only be for half the fetus #Moderate.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Well, people are born gay, so I see nothing wrong with this. Who on earth believes that being gay is a choice? I frankly don't want to meet people who believe that

Cruz, CC, Huckabee, Santorum, I believe Silent Cal and others as well.

Look I have no interest in them or voting for them, so that's okay.

I'm fairly sure CCon doesn't believe that. Could be wrong on that though.

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Oh, he said probably instead of definitely yes or no?   Wow, what a creep for not feigning certainty!

[TheDeadFlagBlues]

For a politician... when it comes to issues on sexuality, gender and access to rights and facilities, whether or not you believe that someone is inherently how they present themselves does matter.

Why does this matter though? Supposing that people could decide to be gay in a vacuum, why should that have any effect on their ability to access rights and facilities? It would still be discriminatory to allow firms to punish them for a lifestyle choice that is inconsequential and damages no one.

[Meclazine for Israel]

I dont see the big problem.

Boys dont turn gay to avoid being their father's football hero.

Girls dont turn lesbian because they cannot find a boyfriend.

It would appear to be a life thing.

[SUSAN CRUSHBONE]

it is a shame that people are invading kasich's safespaces, yeah

[Mercenary]

Kasich is correct again. He really lines up well with my positions and way of thinking on social issues.

[OSR stands with Israel]

The town hall I went too had no gotcha questions

[Ebowed]

Gay people are 'probably' born gay and Kasich is 'definitely' a drug dealer with a debt clock

That's one way to look at it.  Another way would be even if they are "born that way", why should the rest of society be forced to accommodate their ways which go against our morality?  They should have the same rights as everybody else, including marriage to the opposite sex.

And black people should have the same rights as whites to marry others of their own race! Such logic, wow.

Do you understand how insulting and degrading this statement is to me and others like me? That you would compare your inconvenience at being forced to live alongside people who are born different from you to what gays have had to go through? Show a little empathy, man.

Uh, a lot of people. But you know that.
