Well, that didn't take long.
Pawlenty told Gregory on Meet The Press that when it came to whether homosexuality was a choice or an innate part of a person's character, "the science in that regard is in dispute" and that it was unclear whether it was "behavioral or partly genetic."
"There's no scientific conclusion that it's genetic," he said. "We don't know that. So we don't know to what extent, you know, it's behavioral and-- that's something that's been debated by scientists for a long time. But as I understand the science, there's no current conclusion that it's genetic."
As if he hadn't distanced himself from gay rights activist Lady Gaga enough already, he added that he was only "subjected to" her music by his teenage daughters, although it has some "good qualities."
What a spineless f***.
