Which is Worse: Smoking or Being Gay?

Iowa Family Policy Center President Chuck Hurley argues being gay is worse for Iowa than smoking. Here's part of a statement he sent out:

"The Iowa Legislature outlawed smoking in an effort to improve health and reduce the medical costs that are often passed on to the state,” said Chuck Hurley, president of the group. “The secondhand impacts of certain homosexual acts are arguably more destructive, and potentially more costly to society than smoking.”

Hurley's anti-gay stance has apparently inspired/provoked someone to start a website against him. It's up today at www.chuckhurls.com. There's also an anti-Hurley Facebook page now called "Chuck Hurley Makes Me Hurl".

What do you think? Who causes more problems for Iowa: gays or smokers? What about gay smokers?

Governor Chet Culver is playing no favorites on Twitter today during this election season. Here's what is posted on his account:
