ABQJOURNAL NEWS/METRO: Candidates Speak on Social Issues

In a questionnaire developed by a conservative group calling itself Concerned Citizens for APS Reforms, candidates gave insight into their views on some controversial issues. Katherine Korte, who is running in District 2, wrote in response to a question about sexual diversity education: "I would define it as teaching children that it is OK to be in a gay/lesbian relationship, to have bisexual tendencies and or perverted views of sex. We don’t need this type of ‘education’ in our schools. There is right and there is wrong. And I don’t want any educator telling my child that sexual diversity is OK …"

Korte said in a later question she does not condone bullying based on sexual orientation.

Few other candidates provided a definitive answer to the sexual diversity question
