Carson’s boardroom record appears to clash with his fiery rhetoric on homosexuality in televised interviews: he compared same-sex marriage to bestiality in 2013, and implied in March that sex acts among prison inmates show homosexuality is a choice. Instead “picking on” individual industries, Carson said Washington needed to reduce federal regulations, overall. “Within about three weeks my symptoms went away, and I was really quite amazed”, he said to loud applause, according to a YouTube video of the event.
