It must be tough being a gay Republican/Conservative with the line-up of 2012. All of them are anti-gay to an extent. Many of them to the extreme. A couple are either neutral or skirting the issue entirely. And one is actually pro-gay....and has a bat's chance in hell.....
Which Republican candidate do you plan to violate your conscien...er vote for in 2012?
REMEMBER! Gay rights is just one issue! Try to vote for an anti-gay Republican who will do the least damage to the gay community! That's the best you can hope for!
1) Mitt Romney
Famous Anti-Gay Quote:
I’ve been in a state that has gay marriage, and I recognize that the consequences of gay marriage fall far beyond just the relationship between a man and a woman. They also relate to our kids and the right of religion to be practiced freely in a society.
Homophobe-O-Meter: ??? He flip-flops too much!
2) Tim Pawlenty
Famous Anti-Gay Quote:
My general view on all of this is that marriage is to be defined as being a union of a man and a woman. Marriage should be elevated in our society at a special level. I don’t think all domestic relationships are the equivalent of traditional marriage. Early on we decided as a country and as a state that there was value in a man and a woman being married in terms of impact on children and the like, and we want to encourage that.
Homophobe-O-Meter: : 7/10. He's 'supported' gay rights in the past....only to retract them before they can be passed. He's a devout Evangelical Christian who thinks evolution is false and creationism should be taught in science classrooms....
3) Rick Santorum
Famous Anti-Gay Quote:
“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… 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.”
Homophobe-O-Meter: : 10/10 This man is so anti-gay he tried to ban gay students from state universities in Virginia....
4) Michelle Bachmann
Famous Anti-Gay Quote:
“Just because someone thinks or feels it doesn’t mean that we are supposed to go down that road. That’s what is called the sinful nature. We have a responsibility as parents not to encourage such thoughts and feelings from moving into the action steps…”
“It’s part of Satan I think to say that this is “gay.” It’s anything but gay.”
“If you’re involved in the gay and lesbian lifestyle, it’s bondage. It is personal bondage, personal despair and personal enslavement.”
Homophobe-O-Meter: : 231/10. She's married to an ex-gay minister who runs an 'ex-gay' clinic that claims gays are barbarians. Extremely religious. Extremely dangerous.
5) Newt Gingrich
Famous Anti-Gay Quote:
"I think there is a gay and secular fascism in this country that wants to impose its will on the rest of us, is prepared to use violence, to use harassment. I think it is prepared to use the government if it can get control of it. I think that it is a very dangerous threat to anybody who believes in traditional religion."
Homophobe-O-Meter: : 8/10 He's contributed hundreds of thousands to Focus on Family and NOM. He's actively been quoted that he will attempt to slow down gay rights if elected president. He's actively defending the DOMA.
6) Fred Karger (The Gay One)
Famous PRO-Gay Quote:
“My candidacy sends a strong message to millions of Americans that if you are Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Queer you can do anything you want in life, you can even run for President. As the only full equality candidate running for President in 2012, I will fight for full equality for all Americans.”
Homophobe-O-Meter: : 0/10. He's a gay man who supports gay rights. HALLEJUAH. He's a fiscal conservative and social liberal. A true unicorn in American politics....
