Jon Stewart Slams Rick Perry: ‘Being Gay Is Not A Choice, But Being A Texas Republican Is’

Jon Stewart last night slammed conservatives over their war on gay people, and touted the myriad of recent wins for the LGBT community. The “Daily Show” host then went on to attack Texas Republicans for their treatment of gay people.

Noting the Texas Republican Party’s recent embrace of harmful so-called “ex-gay” therapy, Stewart compared it to a woman having a C-section who’s not pregnant. “You won’t find what you’re looking for, but you will leave a scar.”

Stewart then educated the audience about some of the methods so-called “reparative” therapists use, which include electrodes placed on genitals, and sniffing human waste.

And he also mocked Texas Gov. Rick Perry for his comments earlier this month comparing homosexuality to alcoholism.

GOP. They sure have lots of dumb going. Maybe this therapy might be beneficial to preventing an OOPS moment for Perry.
