   Likely Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson believes   
   that being gay is a choice, because prison has turned "a lot" of   
   ostensibly straight people into gay people.   
      
   In an interview that aired Wednesday on CNN, Carson was asked   
   whether being gay is a choice, and he replied, "Absolutely."   
      
   "Because a lot of people who go into prison go into prison   
   straight, and when they come out, they're gay," he explained.   
   "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself   
   that question."   
      
   Carson, a retired neurosurgeon and conservative activist,   
   announced Tuesday that he has formed a committee to explore the   
   possibility of running for president in 2016, becoming the first   
   Republican to take that step thus far this cycle. The   
   exploratory committee allows him to raise money in anticipation   
   of a bid for the White House.   
      
   As his remarks about gays and prison will attest, Carson has   
   made a crusade against political correctness a central element   
   of his public profile. He's said Obamacare is the worst thing to   
   happen to America since slavery, compared the IRS targeting   
   scandal to Gestapo tactics under Nazi Germany, and warned that   
   gay marriage, like pedophilia and bestiality, would undermine   
   society.
