...who is as fervent a supporter of Obama as Michele is of Bible-based homophobia. Who'dda thunk? (More after the jump.)

Mitt Romney became the first GOP presidential candidate to promise not to sign that alarming pledge from Iowa's "Family Leader" declaring homosexuality a choice, marriage equality an abomination and children born into slavery more successful than children born since abolition. It's not much, but we'll dust of the "Lesser of the Evils" crown (we haven't used it much since the Bush II era) and let Mitt wear it a bit today. Details follow. 

Another day, another morsel of Michele Bachmann's anti-gay past garners the spotlight. This time around, news that the GOP's 2012 presidential front-runner—during her tenure as a Minnesota state rep in 2006—attempted to pass a bill protecting "ex gay therapists" has hit the gay blogosphere. Details follow.

I love that ridiculous homophobia now leaves the majority of the world with such a bad case of the eye rolls that the d-bags perpetuating it either have to immediately embark on Apology World Tours at the suggestion of their publicists, or have to defend their unpopular anti-gay activities at the suggestion of their egos. Follow the jump to see why Rick Santorum found it important to add his signature right under Michele Bachmann's on that deplorable conservative pledge against equality, science and Christian tenets, and asks signers to promise their fidelity in their marriage.

Believe us—we wish we didn't have to publish multiple stories a day sharing the intenese bigotry spewed by the GOP 2012 presidential frontrunner. The latest? Good As You has uncovered a deplorable 2004 paper circulated to constituents by Michele Bachmann that compares marriage equality to Pearl Harbor. Details follow. 

Texas Gov. Rick Perry hasn't yet officially tossed his cowboy hat into the ring of 2012 GOP presidential candidates but, according to Politico, his wranglers (his team, not his jeans) are already ready to fight against a national re-airing of the gay rumors that have circled his tenure. 

If you wanted to hear Rachel Lang's own words describing why she bombed Michele Bachmann, follow the jump for a video interview with the glitter activist. Still, the question remains: Did glitter-bombing Bachmann move gay rights forward?)

Glitter shrapnel isn't the only thing still settling after anti-gay 2012 GOP presidential candidate Michele Bachmann's appearance at a conservative gathering over the weekend; a collective WTF continues to stun the gay blogosphere as word seeps out that the homophobic lawmaker used Katy Perry's gay-anthem "Firework" without permission as a campaign rallying song during the "Right Online" convention. Details follow.
