- Dr Carson is known for his endless font of surreal views about homosexuality – comparing gay people to paedophiles and insisting that prisons ‘prove’ being gay is a choice. He doubled down on his record of homophobic comments at his confirmation hearing today, refusing to disavow anything he has said previously. He insisted: “Of course, I would enforce all the laws of the land. Of course, I think all Americans should be protected by the law [but] what I have said before is I don’t think anyone should get ‘extra rights’.”
