I really can't believe you guys are defending
Santorum. Let's make no mistake, this man is no friends to gays. He's quite the opposite.
He's made his entire political career into making us the enemy, into attacking us and trying to destroy us anyway he can. He constantly refers to us as pedophiles, polygamists, and refers to same-sex relationships as the same as bestiality. He's staked his presidential campaign not only on defining marriage as between one man and one woman but invalidating every marriage license granted legally to same sex couples. He doesn't just oppose the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell, he wants to reinstate it and fire every glb person that's come out of the closet since it's removal.
Let's not be confused, if anyone's a bully here, it's Rick Santorum. And how do you stop a bully? You fight back.
Dan Savage started the campaign to define 'santorum' as it is back in 2003 after an interview with Associated Press Reporter Lara Jordan in which Santorum refered to the Roman Catholic sex abuse scandal as a "basic homosexual relationship". He went on to comment on
Lawernce v. Texas in which he stated "the right to privacy doesn't exist in my opinion in the United States Constitution" and "sodomy laws properly exist to prevent acts which undermine the basic tenets of our society and the family." When asked if gay people should have sex he stated:
In every society, the definition of marriage has not ever to my knowledge included homosexuality. That's not to pick on homosexuality. It's not, you know, man on child, man on dog, or whatever the case may be. It is one thing. And when you destroy that you have a dramatic impact on the quality.
As well,
If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything.
This
man does not deserve our respect or support. He is the enemy.
