Gay remark in Spanish made in jest, Richardson says
Tagged: Bill Richardson, radioPosted on: July 15th, 2007“Democratic presidential candidate Bill Richardson said Thursday his use of a Spanish word that some contend is a slur against homosexuals was meant to be playful but apologized to anyone who was offended.
With critics revisiting the statement he made on a radio program a year ago, Richardson questioned the timing of their comments.
“My record is the strongest among the presidential candidates on gay rights issues and Im puzzled by the timing of this. When it happened a year ago, nobody seemed to think it was terribly important. Now it surfaces,” he told The Associated Press in an interview.”
