Rick Perry, the current GOP presidential front-runner, has just added his ink to the National Organization for Marriage's hateful, bigoted pledge, meaning he promises to fight against the American value of equality should he become president. Details follow.
Perry joins Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney and Tim Pawlenty in promising to fight tooth & nail fang and claw against equal rights should he become president.
Announced Friday on NOM's blog:
By doing so, Perry makes crystal clear that, contrary to the conventional wisdom, gay marriage is going to be a bigger issue in 2012 than it was in 2008, because the difference between the GOP nominee and Pres. Obama is going to be large and clear. We look forward to demonstrating that being for marriage is a winning position for a presidential candidate.
Unfortunately, with Perry's signature, it does seem that marriage equality is becoming a wedge issue in the 2012 election. Throwing families, lives and love under the bus once again, anti-gay bigots!
