Recent statements of Rick Perry, Governor of Texas and presidential candidate, emphasize the anti-gay elements that have permeated this GOP primary season. Perry’s views are largely out-of-step with those of mainstream Americans – including people of faith.

HRC has been tracking Perry and other presidential candidates closely this year. Perry’s remarks at a Christian-only day of prayer, which was paid for by the American Family Association (AFA), epitomize years of anti-gay and even homophobic behavior. Here’s a sampling of Rick Perry’s attacks on the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community:

Governor Perry contributes to the spread of dangerous lies about LGBT Americans.

Governor Perry makes an exception to his strong belief in state rights when it comes to marriage equality.

Governor Perry aligns himself with rabidly anti-gay hate groups who spread propaganda at home and export their hate abroad.

Governor Perry doesn’t take hate crimes against LGBT Americans seriously.

Governor Perry thinks it’s acceptable to mock gay Americans.
