Appearing on CNN's New Day Wednesday, Carson asserted that homosexuality is a choice, a point he illustrated by talking about men who go to prison.
"A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight and when they come out they're gay. So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question," Carson said.
Carson is hardly the first Republican to reference prison rape in his political rhetoric; Mike Huckabee titled a chapter in his latest book, "Bend Over and Take it Like a Prisoner!"
