Romney’s Gay Past Haunting (Again)

romneypride.jpg
Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney may not want conservatives to remember his gay past, but the Internet’s got a very long memory.

The kids over at Romney Facts posted this, what appears to be Romney’s endorsement of a 2002 gay pride parade when he ran for Massachusetts’ gubernatorial seat…

A flip to the flop?

You can’t make too much of the depravity of the leaders of this country even if you’re way overmedicated.

Until recently Mitt Romney’s Utah based fundraiser was Robert Lichfield. Lichfield runs a group of christian/LDS youth reeducation camps. He was forced to resign as Romney’s fundraiser when he became the defendant in a federal lawsuit charging that students at these “behavior modification” camps suffer “physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse.” No doubt the worst abuse was reserved for the worst sinners – young gays and lesbians, some in their very early teens.

The lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Utah contends that the children forced into these camps by their self-righteous and incompetent parents for being ‘ungodly’ were kicked, beaten, thrown to the ground, imprisoned in animal cages, made to eat their vomit, instructed to clean toilets with a toothbrush and then brush their teeth with it, and forced into sexual acts.

That’s the real thing – that’s child molestation, and it’s repulsive and perverted.

Republicans (the Repugnant Party) are baboons in people suits with a totalitarian christian attached at the hip. Democrats (the Deceitful Party) are Republicans in drag. Which ever one wins we end up paying the price – dying in wars, suffering discrimination, coping with a lowered standard of living, or just drowning when the levees break.

Bill, do you have a source for that information? I believe you–I just want to read it for myself. Apparently I feel like self-punishing today, and/or counting my blessings that I grew up in a fairly hands-off community with parents who were loving and supportive.

Mr B.

I saved it awhile ago and didn’t copy a link, but try the DESERET MORNING NEWS, SLC Utah September 7th, 2007

or try the following;

flyinsaucier.com/news-feed
exhippie.com/aggregator/sources

or just google ‘lichfeld, romney’, (not lichfield) and you’ll see it.
