Sometimes Dead Is Better

Presidential contender and all around asshat Mitt Romney wants you to know he's really against this whole gay marriage thing. He's hates the gays way more than that drag queen Rudy Giuliani, or Hollywood Fred Thompson. No surprise, he backs amending the Constitution so gays can't get married.

In Iowa last week he even let loose with this pearl:

"…I believe that the development of children is enhanced by having a male and a female as part of their upbringing in their home. Even when there's a divorce, you still have a mom and a dad. And even where one member of the partnership may pass away, the memory and the characteristics of that gender, of that partner influence the development of a child."

So, yeah, according to Mitt, a dead parent is preferable to a gay parent.

Nice.
