Gays Kiss At Santoum Rally; Crowd Chants USA As They Leave

Wayne Besen March 18, 2012

What’s up with the “USA” chant as the gay kissers left the rally? Do they not think that there are gay people in Santorum and Palin’s “real America?”

The fact that they chanted USA in response to this action was chilling and indicative of the dangerous mindset shared by Santorum supporters. Such an intolerant cheer is what one might expect in a ultra-nationalist totalitarian country. I can’t think of a response that is more unAmerican than what we see in these videos.

Actually I thought that was kind of funny. Where do they even find these hicks?

These people are flat-out scary. We need to make sure that we do all that we can to get the vote out and defeat whomever the Rethuglicans decide to run.

Santorum supporters seem to be an especially hateful lot.

Santorum supporters seem to be an especially hateful lot. This is the same lot that would gleefully cheer the executions of GLBT people should they ever manage to implant Ugandan-style injustice here.

This was held at the same place Porno Pete held his “Truth Academy” and his heroes banquet where he threw a brick through the window and tried to blame us. Any other questions?

Rick was probably pissed because the guys didn’t kiss him instead.

I’m sure they all have gay friends, who they love very much.

I was a little confused about the chant also. How is chanting USA against two dudes making out?

This rally reminds me of another rally given by another right-wing Christian candidate who hated gays… Adolf Hitler. Their followers certainly seem to be just as nationalistic and intelligent…
