elabyI came across this via Sarah Diemer's tumblr and I just had to share. I'm proud to be living in the same state as this veteran.
Mitt Romney Accidentally Confronts A Gay Veteran; Awesomeness Ensues
The site summarizes it pretty well: "Back in December 2011 during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Mitt Romney decided to drop by Vietnam War veteran Bob Garon's breakfast table for a quick photo-op. What Romney didn't realize is that Garon was sitting with his husband, whom he had married just a few months earlier."
I think Bob Garon says it all: he was undecided about who to vote for, but when somebody tells you to your face "I don't think you deserve the same legal rights as other people," it tends to make you less inclined to vote them into office. I wonder if Romney would have tempered his flat-out "no" if he had known who he was talking to. Somehow I don't really think so :\
