Rick Perry homosexuality opinion surprised many when the Texas governor has raised his opinion regarding homosexuality at an event in San Francisco. According to Fox News, Rick Perry homosexuality opinion may have shocked some as he expressed himself and allegedly said that it is like "alcoholism."
The Texan governor Rick Perry homosexuality opinion has shocked many in an event in San Francisco on Wednesday evening. The Associated Press reports that Perry blew the minds of the event's guests as he compared homosexuality to alcoholism.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Rick Perry homosexuality opinion has been made known after Perry was asked a question by an audience member at the Commonwealth Club. The question's answer seems to have surprised many as the question addresses the approval of the Texas Republican Party on platform language. The approval reportedly allows Texans to search voluntary counseling in order to "cure" being gay.
Rick Perry homosexuality opinion began with the governor saying that he doesn't know whether any type of "reparative therapy" worked to "cure" being gay. Perry was of course then asked by the moderator of the event if he considered homosexuality a disorder. Rick Perry homosexuality opinion was made clear in his response, "Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that. I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way."
According to The Chronicle report, Rick Perry homosexuality opinion caused a "murmur of disbelief" amongst the audience. Serving out his final term as Texas governor, Perry reportedly promoted his state during his talk.
Rick Perry homosexuality opinion was not the only talk of the town during the night. Perry made sure to mention his pride on Texas being a model for responsible energy production and economic growth in California. In his talk, Perry salso discussed how Texas allegedly pilots the way towards energy independence by producing crude oil and electricity in many forms, which also happens to include solar power.
According to The Washington Post, Rick Perry homosexuality opinion on the Wednesday event isn't the only time that the governor has mentioned the same opinion. In a 2008 book that he wrote, Perry reportedly said that "Even if an alcoholic is powerless over alcohol once it enters his body, he still makes a choice to drink. And, even if someone is attracted to a person of the same sex, he or she still makes a choice to engage in sexual activity with someone of the same gender."
Rick Perry homosexuality opinion may likely affect his popularity amongst the public as many are still reportedly in disbelief by his answer to the homosexuality question at the San Francisco event. Perry unsuccessfully ran for president in 2012. He is currently viewed as a potential candidate for the 2016 elections. He is also stepping down as governor at his current term's end.
