http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/09/30/2008-09-30_one_of_my_best_friends_is_gay_sarah_pali.htmlSarah Palin, the socially conservative GOP veep nominee, is not opposed to gay people. Heck, some of her best friends are gay.
"I am not going to judge Americans and the decisions that they make in their adult personal relationships," Palin told CBS' Katie Couric Tuesday night when asked about churches, including Palin's, that promote conferences to convert gays into heterosexuals through prayer.
"I have one of my absolute best friends for the last 30 years who happens to be gay and I love her dearly," Palin said, without mentioning names. "And she is not my gay friend, she is one of my best friends who happens to have made a choice that isn't a choice that I have made."
The topic was one of several hot-button social issues that Palin fielded - prompting often nuanced responses - as part of the CBS anchorwoman's ongoing interviews with the Alaska governor. Palin said:
She would counsel a 15-year-old raped by her father to "choose life" instead of getting an abortion.
"If you are asking though ...should anybody end up in jail for having had an abortion? Absolutely not."more at link above
