CONCORD, N.H. — Texas Governor and Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry, campaigning in New Hampshire on Friday, told a conservative advocacy group he applauds the GOP legislators in the state for their efforts to to repeal the state’s same-sex marriage law.
Rick Perry
Speaking before an enthusiastic crowd at the Cornerstone Action’s annual banquet, Perry said, “As conservatives we believe in the sanctity of life. We believe in the sanctity of traditional marriage and I applaud those legislators in New Hampshire who are working to defend marriage as an institution between one man and one woman, realizing that children need to be raised in a loving home by a mother and a father.”
In June 2009, New Hampshire became the sixth state to legalize gay marriage. Earlier this week, LGBTQ Nation reported that the state’s GOP lawmakers on Tuesday moved another step closer to repealing the state’s 15-month-old same-sex marriage law.
The House Judiciary Committee voted 11-6 to recommend eliminating gay marriage rights for same-sex couples, and to instead establish civil unions for any unmarried adults competent to enter into a contract, including relatives.
In his speech, the Texas governor also praised Republican led efforts to defund Planned Parenthood.
“Unfortunately this current administration has since provided one million dollars in federal grant money to Planned Parenthood in direct conflict with this state’s policies. And the bottom-line is this: If you want to stop Washington’s many violations of the 10th Amendment … then we must make President Obama a one-term president,” Perry said.
This past June, New Hampshire’s Executive Council voted 3-2 to end the the state’s $1.8 million contract with Planned Parenthood. The Obama administration restored the funding in September.

:(
Fuck this guy
Such a twat
he’s a racist, otherwise he would participate in the “Innocence Project”
Shouldn’t he be worrying about his OWN STATE?
Pretty f*cking sad that it’s still acceptable to have people who think like this running for president.
Statistics say that people who support gay marriage in New Hampshire is about 2 to 1. People like Mr. Perry really need to get on the right side of history.
Suck one, close minded @$$
well this texan tells gov. perry to suck my **** and kiss my ***
AS IF!!!!
Fu*% rick perry, michelle bachman, herman cain, mitt romney and all the other dumb fu*% republicans
Perry is a pin head.
If he somehow is elected president, all LGBT progress will end until he is out of office. Same with Cain, Bachmann, Santorum… It’s just sad that it’s 2011 and people still believe that gay people ruin the “institution of marriage”. How does it affect your marriage??? If it does, then you have other issues to worry about.
FUCKTARD….
could not say it any better myself Jess
More like Recall Rick Perry. Time to vote these bigots into the unemployment line where they belong.
My question to all these right wing nuts is this: how does it affect you personally if your state or government recognizes same sex marriage? I’ll answer my question. It doesn’t! They just want to make everyone else just like them. That’s what bible thumpers want to do and that is what the right wing nuts want to do. What is the meaning of liberty and freedom if we are not free to be who GOD made us to be!!! Its not liberty it is oppression!
I am starting to think rick perry is just so pissed that he is not married to a hot gay man, if he didnt marry a hot gay man, then no one else should be able to….for real rick….I am sorry you dont like your marriage but dont keep me from getting married to the man of my dreams
AMEN mattie williams!! Woot woot!
And so it starts with the first Republican asshole attacking gay marriage. Equal rights for everyone you ignorant jerkoff.
Douchebag.
Douchebag.
idiot!
We should throw Rick Perry and Herman Cain in a cave and have them live together for the rest of their lives. The only thing they are allowed to eat is brussel sprouts.
I am sure his prejudices dont stop with just gays
Right? Repeal his evil mouth.
Go back to Texas
People like this SOB Rick Perry shouldn’t have the kids on the reason of abuse to our civil society because its assholes like this who have fuck up parenting skills & others who dont share this homophobic view that Perry follows & feels the need to push on us well their love ones,kids & famlies have to learn of this ignorance witch causes more hate in our society that we who believe in equality try to keep in this country the land of free for ALL AMERICANS ..
New England tells TX to repeal assholes!
Perry can suck it.
Well good luck with that loser.
Leave New Hampshire alone!
I’m so ashamed that he runs my state. Especially from our most gay friendly city. He can suck my ass. I can’t wait till he’s beaten for the presidency and run out of the governor’s office. I can’t stand him.
go for it now

wotta a fkn bozo,..
That’s ridiculous… I swear some people fucking kill me. Why the fuck are you worried about who we love?? We fall in love unconditionally and whether its someone of the same sex or not, we shouldn’t be told who we love and want to spend the rest of our lives with. People seriously need to grow up and live in this century! UGH!
I worry what he will do if he becomes president….we all deserve the same rights to marry who we want….have a family…..y are people so against gay marriage love is love, God is love
If this asshole gets in, goodbye to progress.
Perry should repeal his homophobia.
aka Latch onto the last acceptable form of discrimination in order to get votes and stay on top of the social hierarchy.
Repeal that idiot. ;)
Muthafucker IT’S NOT EVEN YO STATE!!!
I hope that we keep spreading the message to our reps and senators about how marriage equality for all needs to be passed and passed NOW! Also tell them to support the Uniting American Families Act which affects thousand of binational LGBT couples. My self included. We have dumbfuck Republican over here in Nor-Cal that can’t find his was out of shitty wet paper bag! We need to vote this useless people out of office.
was=way
Just what we need…another dumb ass bigited, hate in the name of Jesus shit kicker from Texas with his boots up on the desk at Pennsylvania Avenue. NOT IN MY Mother F’ing WORLD Ass Hole!
tempting as it is to relocate to another country (which does recognize my civil right to marry whom i choose, tho i may temporarily resort to such), to escape these idiots, i refuse to let this entire nation FOUNDED ON EQUALITY FOR ALL fall prey and be destroyed by them. geez people mind your own business and leave us alone! trust me, we want nothing to do with you either!
Stuff it Rick Perry! Why shoule you have more rights thanLGBTQ?
I wonder what people like him have against us.
im glad we all should live our lives according to rick pissery.
what a dick.
Mr. Perry, I am a woman with a same sex marriage coming up in my family next year. I can only hope that the persons you were speaking to IGNORED YOU ! Who do you think you are , that you can take away the right to love and happiness just because these people are gay ? Who gave you the God given right to tell them that they cannot marry the people that they love? SHAME ON YOU FOR BEHAVING LIKE A NARROW MINDED BIGGOT ! I’m just so very glad that my neice has finally found a partner that loves and cherishes and protects her. The man she was with did not do that . HE BEAT AHD HURT AND HARRASSED HER ! So much for your traditional values. Our own president has decided that we are no longer a Christian country. I say that you and he should both go to hell !
“…realizing that children need to be raised in a loving home by a mother and a father.”
Here’s a quick test the candidates can take to determine if they actually believe that sort of statement.
Ask them ALL this: “Do you believe that married servicemen and women who have children should be exempt from all battlefields?”
If they say yes, then they’re in alignment with their ‘loving mother and father’ premise. If they say no, then they’re not.
Here’s the second test. Ask all GOP candidates if they believe that DIVORCE should be outlawed. If they say no, then they don’t believe that ‘mother and father’ bullshit. If they believed it, they would prevent divorce and they would FORCE single parents to marry.
So, you see, they’re just making up a bunch of hateful anti-American BS.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.
