British Conservative: "Gay Folks Shouldn't Be Allowed To Adopt"

So argues Winston McKenzie, a UK Independence Party member and parliamentary candidate in an upcoming special election. From the This Is Croydon (UK) website: "UKIP'S candidate for the Croydon North by-election says gay people should not be allowed to adopt. Winston McKenzie said placing children with gay or lesbian couples was 'unhealthy' after retweeting an article written by a National Front supporter who claimed there was 'no such thing as homophobia'."

Mr. McKenzie argues that gay couples aren't "healthy" for a child: "When asked why, Mr McKenzie, UKIP's spokesman for culture, media and sport, said that couples might raise the child to be gay. 'There are people out there who bring up their kids encouraging them to believe they are gay themselves,' he said. 'If the child is properly heterosexual and they are put in foster homes without any thought or consideration of who they are or what their identity is, that's not right."

Booker Rising response: I disagree with his stance on gay adoption, but another thing caught my eye even more. Um, why is any black person retweeting any piece written by a supporter of the UK's white supremacist party?
