Santorum Wins at Minnesota Caucus
I can’t tell you how many people I’ve heard say, “But no one really came out to vote, that’s the only reason he won.” People! That is not the point. This guy is a scary force in the fight against GLBT equality – and if he gains traction and support, of any kind, it’s not good for our cause.
This is especially unnerving to me considering the fact that we have a HUGE fight on our hands this NOvember at the polls as we vote on whether or not we amend our constitution to define marriage in the state of Minnesota.
Make no mistake, Rick Santorum wants to take away the rights of gays and lesbians. This win is not good news, regardless of how many people turned out to vote.
Rick Santorum and Gay Marriage
All I would say is that marriage has been voted on 32 times in this country in 32 states, from Maine to California and 32 times the people of this country have said that marriage is between a man and a woman…

Rick Santorum in response to the question, “Are you going to try and make it illegal for gay people to get married?” Looks like we have our answer.
Santorum on Gay Marriage

Santorum dances around the question yet again. I’m very intrigued by him. Sometimes he’ll share his views directly, other times, he’ll dance around the question. For example, when asked if he would try to change the law in states that allow gay marriage:
I would change the law to make a uniform definition of marriage in this country… I would re-institute the traditional marriage as the best template for our society.
Can you imagine the step back in our history if he were elected and made gay marriage illegal across all 50 states? Scary.
Santorum’s Views on Gay Marriage

Santorum claims that he and Obama have the same views on gay marriage. Interesting response from White House spokesman Jay Carney:
You know very well what the president’s views are on LGBT issues and civil rights. The president is very proud of this administration’s record on those issues…

Rick Santorum v. Obama
President Obama says he has the same position I have on gay marriage… The only difference is between myself and any of them is that when someone asks me a question I answer it.Rick Santorum, 1/9/2012Source: ThinkProgress.org
