Booker: NJ Rival's Comment on Sexuality 'Bigoted'
NEWARK, N.J. August 29, 2013 (AP)

"Maybe that helps to get him the gay vote, by acting ambiguous," Lonegan said.
Booker's team shot back Wednesday, saying Lonegan's comments were narrow-minded.
"Mr. Lonegan's comments are disappointing, bigoted and far outside the mainstream, implying that a man is not a man if he's gay," Booker's campaign said in a statement.
