It's fun watching the only guy in the republican race who is reluctantly realizing that you can't vilify everyone all of the time. It's also funny watching conservatives fumble around looking for a way out every time they get such simple questions. "The sky is probably blue." - Kasich probably:
John Kasich told an audience here Friday that some people are "probably" born gay after being pressed on the issue by an audience member who said he was gay.
San Francisco resident Kelly Bryan, 62, asked Kasich the question at a forum hosted by the Commonwealth of California Club, telling the Ohio governor, "Gay people are human beings and not a lifestyle choice. Please respond without prayer being an answer."
"In terms of me, I don't believe in discrimination," Kasich said. "I think there is a balance, however, between discrimination and people's religious liberties. But I think we should just try to, like, take a chill pill, relax, and try to get along with one another a little bit better instead of trying to write some law to solve a problem that doesn't frankly exist in big enough numbers to justify more lawmaking."
"Do I think that people are, you know, born gay? Probably," Kasich said. "I've never studied the issue. But I don't see any reason to hurt you or to discriminate you or make you feel bad or make you feel like a second-class citizen. I don't think that's right." Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
