*Republican presidential aspirant Ben Carson has done a 360 and apologized for saying being gay is a choice, following a backlash over his assertion that prisons are evidence that homosexuality is an option, reports USA Today.
“In a recent interview on CNN, I realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues,” said the retired neurosurgeon and Republican on Facebook. “I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended.”
Carson launched a 2016 presidential exploratory committee earlier this week. He has a faithful following among conservatives, and is doing better in some public opinion polls than some better-known Republicans seeking the White House.
