I suspect Newt prefers golden showers.

But dude gets an A for effort!

(Minneapolis) –At a book signing in Minneapolis, recently declared the hippest and gayest city in America, local activist Robert Erickson greeted 2012 GOP presidential contender and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich with a shower of rainbow glitter.

“Feel the Rainbow!” Erickson shouted. Gingrich was conducting the book signing as part of The Minnesota Family Council & Institute Annual Dinner 2011 celebration. The MFC has been an instrumental mover of a marriage inequality amendment that would enshrine discrimination in Minnesota’s state constitution.

So very, very good. Next time, consider using runny cow manure.

"Have you ever seen us at your events?"

Well, yes. They were there to prevent our events. They were there at San Francisco City Hall with their fucking hatemobiles to disrupt the weddings. They were there in force for decades at bars, at parties, at parades, at festivals - to spread their message of hate and disapproval. They let Fred Phelps spread his hate everywhere because he was sending a message they approved of.

Dude, you really shouldn't have asked that question.

Uhm, the "bouncer" really set off my gaydar -- not to say that having a sibilant lisp means anything, but I'm thinking he was projecting a bit much. "Have we been to your events?" "Well, actually, I DO believe I had seen you there dressed in your rainbow hotpants and Steve Madden platforms."

I think the glitter-spreader heard the same thing I did by the gleam in his eye.

Calista certainly sprang to life, didn't she? That's the most animated her face has been in a while.

That was golden.

Thank you pansypoo for putting in the fact that gay folks weren't and aren't the only ones to suffer under the Republican regime(s) and campaign(s) of hate, bigotry and sexism.

I'd like to dress up as a big uterus and parade into their events, "Don't touch me, I'm protected by the constitution fuckers!" I'd like to say.

Or bring my grown kids to their events, with thousands others, "These are the welfare children you said weren't worth funding, remember? They have something to say today."

Oh the hell I'd like to raise on that SOB.
