Rubio promises to 'uphold the Constitution' (except for when he tries to take rights away from gay families)



After viewing THIS commercial, there is no other way to put it: Sen. Marco Rubio is an opportunistic, pandering, despicable phony. He attempts to come across as so religious as if he wants you to imagine heavenly choirs singing and a halo appearing above his head. Then he claims to "uphold the Constitution" while implying that President Obama has not done so.

Isn't that lovely?

Apparently, in Rubio's world, "upholding the Constitution" means scheming to take away hard earned constitutional  rights from same-sex couples and their families while complaining about being seen as a "bigot" for doing it.

The audacity alone is simply nauseating.

Homophobia always comes down to 'gay sex' and children

"Porno" Pete Labarbera and Dave Daubenmire are two of the slimiest, most repulsive anti-lgbt activists in existence. But they also share a degree of candidness which should give our community perspective when it comes to reasons behind homophobia.

No matter how anti-gay groups like the Family Research Council and personalities like Tony Perkins and Franklin Graham attempt to disguise it, no matter how folks like Kim Davis give false appeals to their supposed "deeply held Christian faith," in the end, homophobic bigotry comes down to what LaBarbera and Daubenmire obsess about - gay sex and kids. The quality of our lives and families seem to always be reduced to sweaty precautionary fantasies. The difference between folks like Daubenmire and LaBarbera and "mainstream" anti-gay groups and personalities is how the latter can play the game of inference:
