Stand by me, but not too close

A Democratic city council candidate in Flordia has had a couple of endorsments withdrawn because he is too pro-choice:

ST. PETERSBURG - Two state legislators have pulled their endorsement of City Council candidate Gershom Faulkner after he told a group of local gay and lesbian political activists that people choose to be gay.

Faulkner, a Democrat running for the nonpartisan council in District 7, said he could not support what he called a gay lifestyle because of his religious beliefs, according to those who attended the August meeting of the Pinellas Stonewall Democrats.

The headline on the story says: "Antigay stance loses support for candidate." You know what the "antigay stance" is -- feet together as close as you can get them in the men's room.
