Trump chief scientist nominee: It's 'logical' allowing same-sex marriage will lead to legalized pedophilia

President Donald Trump’s choice to be the chief scientist at the Department of Agriculture has admitted that he thinks being gay is a choice, and that legalizing same-sex marriage will eventually lead to the legalization of pedophilia.

According to a report from CNN’s KFiles, a review of the words and writings of Sam Clovis reveals some less than scientific views.

“Someone who engages in LGBT behavior — I don’t know what the science is on this, I think it’s still out — but as far as we know, LGBT behavior is a choice they make,” Clovis explains in a video obtained by CNN. “So we’re being asked to provide Constitutional protections for behavior, a choice in behavior as opposed to a primary characteristic.”

Clovis went on to add, ““Follow the logic, if you engage in a particular behavior, what also becomes protected? If we protect LGBT behavior, what other behaviors are we going to protect? Are we going to protect pedophilia? Are we going to protect polyamorous marriage relationships? Are we going to protect people who have fetishes? What’s the logical extension of this?”

"It can’t be that we’re going to protect LGBT and then we’ll pull up the ladder. That’s not going to happen, it defies logic. We’re not thinking the consequences of these decisions through,” he concluded.
