Funny how he felt that way then and now he is one […]
What does this say? House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) and House GOP Conference Chairman Mike Pence (R-Ind.) are voting against the House/Senate fiscal year 2010 defense authorization bill — because it contains hate crimes provisions designed to protect gays and lesbians. Boehner and Pence are putting their own bigotry against the needs of our […]
