Carson 'Regrets' Using Prison Example To Prove Being Gay Is A Choice [View all]
Dr. Ben Carson apologized late Wednesday for citing gay sex in prison to argue that homosexuality is a choice, although he asserted that there's no conclusive proof that people who identify as gay were born that way.
The potential Republican 2016 contender, who just announced Tuesday that he'd formed a presidential exploratory committee, made waves when he told CNN's Chris Cuomo that being gay was "absolutely" a choice.
"Because a lot of people who go into prison, go into prison straight -- and when they come out they're gay," Carson said on "New Day." "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."
In a statement issued to CNN later in the day, Carson said he "realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues."
