Anti-gay Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich (this must be his ‘Star Wars name’) came to blows with the iron fist of America’s gay community yesterday. Wanting to show the Republican that we homosexuals are a force to be reckoned with, the gay rights activist attacked Newt with…wait for it… glitter. Great, we have managed to make terrorism camp… *facepalm*
Mr Gingrich (not to be confused with rich gingers) was attending a book signing in Minnesota when the ‘suicide bummer’ struck. Nick Espinosa emptied a box of rainbow glitter all over Gingrich and his wife’s head. Espinosa who, I suspect, was sponsored by the tasty sweets Skittles then said: “Feel the rainbow, Newt. Stop the hate. Stop anti-gay politics. It’s dividing our country and it’s not fixing our economy.” I imagine Mr Espinosa was up on this rainbow and not on planet Earth during this embarrassing incident.
Sky News reported that in response to the pathetic attack, Newt commented: “Nice to live in a free country.” Now does he mean that in a sarcastic way? Suggesting that we shouldn’t live in a free country because you get gays like this throwing glitter over you? Or does he mean that we DO live in a free country; therefore he is entitled to his homophobic opinion? I’m not sure.
Newt Gingrich has been a big supporter of California’s gay marriage ban and has even gone as far to state that: “America suffers from “gay and secular fascism”.”
I completely appose Newt and his shit sounding name. It’s these right wing turd-burgers that hold America back from entering the 21stcentury. And I agree that they need to spend more time fixing their economy and less time blocking the rights of the gay community. But come on? Do we really think throwing Glitter at congressmen, quoting the Skittles Slogan will help our cause? I was under the impression we wanted to be taken seriously? Surely forcing these right-wing types to sit with a gay representative and discuss going forward, would be a better idea, however naive and misguided it may sound?
