Beers, Steers, and ABSOLUTELY NO QUEERS!
Ladies and gentlemen, the governer of Texas!
FORT WORTH, TEXAS – Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry on Sunday insinuated the state’s lesbian, gay and bisexual war veterans should leave the state if they are unhappy with a recent anti-gay marriage amendment introduced there.During a news conference held in a Fort Worth church, Perry was asked what he would tell Texas gay and lesbian war veterans returning home from war about the law. Governor Perry responded, according to the Fort Worth Star Telegram, by saying that “Texans made a decision about marriage and if there's a state that has more lenient views than Texas, then maybe that’s a better place for them to live.
Obsidian Wings has much, much more.
(n.b. this is not a drill, and this is not misrepresenting what he said. The governer, during a news conference about a photo op in which he signed -not a bill, but a resolution (which does not require his signature) in favor of a State-constitutional gay marriage in Texas - invited all gay veterans who are Texan to go be gay somewhere else. Because it's not enough that they fought for their country. They're queer, you see.)
What a douche.

Apropos nothing in particular
Apropos nothing in particular, other than 15 month-old allegations that the Governor Perry might have more in common with Jim McGreevey than with Arnold Schwarzenegger, this">http://opinion8.net/comments/28_0_1_0_C/]this bit from a place I used to frequent.
Perhaps it's some form of pseudo-justified outrage on his part. Or perhaps Perry's getting him some of that self-loathing that Bill Clinton was all on about Arthur Finkelstein the other day. Either way, I'm afraid that yes, he's a douche.
