- Following a series of teenaged gay suicides and the It Gets Better campaign shedding a spotlight on them, many states have started enacting much tougher anti-bullying laws for their schools. Missing the point entirely, Tennessee Republicans are pushing for a loophole that would allow for the bullying of gay students as long as it was based on they bully's "religious conviction."
- Minnesota for Marriage wants you to know they aren't pulling any 'we're just defending traditional marriage' bs, they are actively opposed to "the homosexual lifestyle." It kind of takes the wind out of me calling them homophobic when they just come out and admit it though.
- Newt Gingrich wants the media to stop asking him biased questions about 'gay rights' because that's just "anti-christian bigotry." Which is the most creative way I've ever seen a Republican admit that admitting they're against gay rights will actually hurt them with the general public.
- Pointing out that Rick Santorum is an anti-gay bigot is a lot like shooting fish in a barrel. Fortunately I enjoy both seafood AND pointing out that Rick Santorum is an anti-gay bigot, so I don't mind so much. Which explains why he thought it would be a good idea to try arguing with a group of college students that gay marriage is exactly the same as polygamy. He then told a group of high school students that they'd be better off with a parent in prison than with gay parents....which didn't go over so well with the three students in attendance who had gay parents. Luckily, even knowing he was walking into it, Rick Santorum also admitted that his position on Don't Ask, Don't tell was identical to that taken by opponents of desegregating the military in the 1940s, which takes a special kind of idiocy we like to call Rick Santorum.
