Dan Savage Slams GOProud

“GOProud describes marriage equality as a ‘states rights issue’ which is what interracial marriage once was. GOProud isn’t a pro-gay rights organization, they are an organization of gay Quislings and useful idiots that help to window-dress the Republican Party, which is really still rabidly anti-gay to its core.” – Dan Savage, speaking on Countdown tonight.
