Texas Governor would like gays to pack up and leave
asshole - statements made while signing "Amend the constitution to discriminate" legislation at Church!


Yesterday the Governor of Texas, the person elected to serve all Texans, had this to say to GLBT Texans:

Local NBC Anchor: "Among the protesters were gay veterans and their partners. We asked the governor about his take on gay veterans, many of whom may one day have fewer rights than everyone else."

Rick Perry: "Texans made a decision about marriage and if there's a state that has more lenient views than Texas, then maybe that's a better place for them to live."



I am a Texan, and I'll not let the likes of Rick Perry tell me to leave this state. What's next, they'll pass a law that forces us to leave? Are they going to load us into cattle cars and ship us away if we don't go peacefully?

The governor needs to apologize.

Does that mean that gay folks in TX no longer need to pay taxes? So glad his oath of office was to protect just those Texans who voted for him.

1. What's too bad
is that it would send a great message, AND have a huge impact, if the what, 10-15% of the population that's gay COULD up and leave Texas. They could cripple the economy, at least temporarily.

3. This is how we get terms like:
Flyover states. We have an idiot in charge here too, but apparently not as mean spirited. Wait till Perry gets caught with his hand in some one's cookie jar.

7. Texas Guvner Says Gays Who Are Packing Should Leave
He finds their massive bulges disturbing, unsettling, oddly fascinating.

8. This from a jerk
off who has long been rumored to be gay.
Anyone here go back far enough to remember when GoodHair's wife fled the Governor's Mansion after allegedly catching good ol' Ricky with one of his senior staff members in a decidedly compromising situation?
