“The Gayest Political Week Ever" Read by: Dustin Richardson
It all started May 6, 2012. That Sunday, Vice President Joe Biden stated he was “comfortable” with same-sex marriage.
On Monday, in response to Biden’s comment, the words “gay” or “same-sex” were used 28 times during the White House press briefing. Tuesday, North Carolina voters approved a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage and civil unions. Wednesday, President Barack Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage.
On Thursday, the Washington Post reported presidential candidate Mitt Romney had bullied two closeted gay students during his high school years. Friday, GQ Magazine reported Romney’s senior advisor Eric Fehmstrom outed a former Massachusetts representative as transgender, thus ending her political career.
And Saturday, Romney restated his stand against same-sex marriage as graduation speaker at Jerry Falwell’s Liberty University. Incidentally, it was Falwell who falsely outed BBC’s Teletubby character, Tinky Winky.
