Dr. Ben Carson on Wednesday walked back from comments he made saying being gay was a choice, noting in a Facebook post that his "choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues,” NBC News reported. "I realized that my choice of language does not reflect fully my heart on gay issues," he wrote. "I regret that my words to express that concept were hurtful and divisive. For that I apologize unreservedly to all that were offended." His change of heat came hours after he appeared on CNN, where, when asked if being gay was a choice, Carson said: "Absolutely."
