Statement from conservative group GOPROUD, responding to Republican candidate Rick Santorum’s call for the military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy be reinstated.
Santorum and the other candidates were replying to a question from Stephen Hill, a gay soldier serving in Iraq, who had asked if they would reverse the repeal of DADT if they became president.
There is no limit to their penchant for disrespect.

good:
Our lifestyle editor, Amanda Hess, reports on recent polling that finds the gap on support for gay marriage closing. Other sexual liberties aren’t growing support the same way though:
Americans are now evenly split on same-sex marriage: 47 percent support marriage rights for gays and lesbians, and 47 percent oppose them. That stalemate won’t last long—critics of gay unions are dying off. According to a new report from the Public Religion Research Institute, only 31 percent of Americans over age 65 support gays getting hitched, compared to 62 percent of Americans under 30.
But strong millennial support for gay marriage has not translated into an uptick in acceptance of other sexual freedoms, like the right to an abortion. The Public Religion Research Institute notes that popular support for keeping abortion legal has dipped a percentage point since 1999, and young Americans are not swelling the ranks of abortion rights supporters. Today, while 57 percent of people under 30 see gay sex as “morally acceptable,” only 46 percent of them would say the same thing about having an abortion.
An army of “gay barbarians” descended upon Marcus Bachmann’s clinic in Stillwater, Thursday, condemning the clinic’s use of federal funds and practice of gay-conversion therapy.
