HATERS GONNA HATE

Republican Candidates Lead The Pack On The Wrong Side Of History Of Marriage Equality

A day that for so many will be remembered as an affirmation of love, respect and equality will for others go down as a blight on our downward-spiraling society. And who are these sticks in the mud?

Namely, social conservative Republicans and other bee-in-their-bonnet antigay activists.

But hey, maybe it’ll be a period piece in 100 years and they’ll never have to deal with it.

Either way, they’ve secured their spots on the wrong side of history: 

Mike Huckabee just couldn’t contain himself:

Rick Santorum offered his expected brand of close-mindedness:

Bobby Jindal weaseled out these thoughts:

Scott Walker thinks he knows best:

Jeb Bush:

I also believe that we should love our neighbor and respect others, including those making lifetime commitments. In a country as diverse as ours, good people who have opposing views should be able to live side by side. It is now crucial that as a country we protect religious freedom and the right of conscience and also not discriminate.”

Chris Christie:

Here’s our response to all of the above:
