How do you know you really hate TEH GAY? When you use your last few lame-duck days in office to stir up some good old-fashioned prejudice. Hell, everyone but Arizona’s doin’ it:
Gov. Mitt Romney, fighting to end same-sex nuptials in his waning days in office, yesterday mailed copies of the state constitution to 16 area lawmakers he said violated their oath of office by dodging a vote on a gay-marriage ban.
Romney plans to ask the state’s high court later this week to go around the Legislature and put the gay marriage ban directly on the ballot for voters to decide.
Pink triangles must really piss you off to waste those last few governating hours on the gay marriage ban.

What would possess a man to make such an asshole (tender, inviting asshole) of himself?
Targeted lawmakers slammed the outgoing GOP governor for trying to appease national voters as he weighs a run for president.
Ohhhh, I get it. Romney thinks that by hating on the rainbow he’ll resemble one of the Nazi plush toys to which so many frightened Christians cling at night.

The actual scary development is that Romney thinks this is the issue his prospective voters care about most. He did not make a symbolic move to beef up security or denounce a bad war or cut government spending or protect corporations or pretend like he cared about small business or privatize/deregulate anything or kiss a baby. No, he hated on gays as publicly as possible, something he hadn’t made a point of doing previously.
Anti-gaiety appears to be what conservatives feel will be their sexiest play going into a presidential election.
