Best 20 Rejected Texas Vanity Plates of All Time
Who doesn't love to eat tacos?
Everybody hates rejection. That's why it must be a major letdown for some people who come up with what they think is a very clever vanity plate slogan, only to have it not happen. Blame some pencil pusher at the department of motor vehicles office.
As a public service, we asked the DMV to supply us with their most recent information on rejected vanity plates. We don't want anyone to make the mistakes others have, and also want to give you an idea of what's kosher and what's not.
So here are 20 of the best attempts at vanity plate cleverness that just weren't meant to be. And yes, all of these plates were actually requested by real people.
Graphics by Monica Fuentes
20 - 19. These plates use a variation of our favorite curse word, and terms we often use when we're stressed out.
18 - 17. It would be completely understandable if the top plate were a celebration of someone who'd just discovered Viagra. We think the latter plate was created by a successful plastic surgeon who wanted to advertise.
16 - 15. MILFs and Jennifer Lopez bodies are just positive things all around.
14 - 13. Just for the record, there were way more people hurling F-bombs at the President in their vanity plate design. We chose this one for its unique local, and besides, it's also pretty cool to diss Gov. Rick Perry. As for advertising a driving violation, we just don't get that.
12 - 11. It's just not clear if these are just racist, or if it's drivers who want to own their racial identifiers, old school as they may be.
10 - 9. On one level, these plates are an homage to some of our favorite rap records. On another level, who wants to think about a scrotum when they're driving behind you?
8 - 7. Somewhere in Texas, there's a pipe fitters union rep who's pissed the DMV didn't clear this plate. As for Pink Taco, last we heard, that's a term for the vagina, and that made us giggle like little school kids.
6 - 5. An anti-Dallas plate is something a few Houstonians could get behind, we're sure. However, taking such a negative world view just doesn't give people a chance, you know?
4 - 3. In a way, advertising not being gay; in a way, must mean the person is gay. Just a thought. Oh, and "pinga" is another word for "dick" in Spanish.
2 - 1. These are words or phrases that are hard to define. But generally, one is an expression, like Daaaum (also on the vanity plate rejection list), and the other is something you say around your drunk buddies. Cabron is one of those universal vulgarities, a term of endearment sometimes. Other times, it's fightin' words.

How close to you stay to range lights? Do you stay inside the "cable area"? I have a 4' draft also, but still feel uneasy about getting stuck out there so I opt to go around. Its not like grounding in some creek where you have some protection, you'd be out there pretty far "high and dry" so to speak. I'd hate to ground out there and get hit by an afternoon t-storm. However, if I can cut 3 NM off the trip that would be a good thing.

Sophomore Josh Sternberg retired 18 of the 19 Dolgeville batters he faced Thursday and pitched a six-inning no-hitter in the West Canada Valley Indians' 22-0 victory. (April 22 baseball roundup)
WEST CANADA VALLEY 22, DOLGEVILLE 0, six innings
NEWPORT, N.Y. — Sophomore Josh Sternberg retired 18 of the 19 Dolgeville batters he faced Thursday and pitched a six-inning no-hitter in the West Canada Valley Indians' 22-0 victory.
Sternberg was perfect through three innings before hitting Chris Robotham with the first pitch of the fourth. Robotham, Dolgeville's only base-runner, would get to third base before the inning ended.
Pitching with his younger brother, Mike, catching, Josh Sternberg finished the game with seven strikeouts and no walks. He threw only 68 pitches.
Offensively, the Indians (5-3) smacked 16 hits against three Dolgeville pitchers. Jared Suderley and Nathan George both went 3-for-3 and George drove in two runs. Josh Sternberg doubled twice with two runs batted in, Alex Maxwell had two hits and two RBI and Troy Moody had two hits.
Mike Sternberg, an eighth-grader, made his first varsity plate appearances in the nine-run fifth inning. He drew a walk and scored his first time up then singled in a run after the Indians batted around.
West Canada Valley returns to Center State Conference Division III competition Monday with a game against Richfield Springs. Dolgeville plays at home Monday against New York Mills.

FRANKFORT-SCHUYLER 4, ORISKANY 2, eight innings
ORISKANY, N.Y. — Frankfort-Schuyler's Andrew Talarico bounced back in a big way Thursday after giving up two runs in the first inning.
The senior right-hander answered with seven shutout innings as the Maroon Knights downed host Oriskany 4-2 in eight innings in a Center State Conference crossover game.
Talarico went the distance to earn the win on 106 pitches including 72 strikes. He allowed two runs, six hits, two walks, one hit batsman and one wild pitch, while striking out four.
Oriskany, which dropped to 3-4 overall, scored a pair of runs in the bottom of the first as starting sophomore pitcher Mike Bunal had an RBI-triple and first baseman Brad Sahl brought Bunal home with a single.
The Maroon Knights, who improved to 4-4 overall, tied the game in the top of the fourth on senior Joe Gatto's two-run home run off Bunal. Nick Sparagna, who singled, scored on the long homer over the right-field fence.
The Redskins squandered scoring opportunities in the sixth and seventh innings as they had a runner on second base with one out in each inning. Tyler McCorduck and Travis Tyler each hit a double and both were left stranded.
Page 2 of 2 - Steve Rossi came on to replace Bunal in the eighth. Bunal, who threw 104 pitches, yielded two runs on five hits and two walks while fanning seven.
Frankfort-Schuyler scored a pair of runs in the eighth to take the lead for good without getting a hit. Sparagna reached on an error and Talarico was hit by a pitch. Both runners advanced on one wild pitch and another scored Sparagna. Talarico came around to score on an error.
Talarico worked around a one-out walk in the bottom of the eighth to preserve the win.
The Maroon Knights take on Mohawk at home Monday.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
This is a book about the theory of the city or commonwealth, what would come to be called the state, in early modern natural law discourse. Annabel Brett takes a fresh approach by looking at this political entity from the perspective of its boundaries and those who crossed them. She begins with a classic debate from the Spanish sixteenth century over the political treatment of mendicants, showing how cosmopolitan ideals of porous boundaries could simultaneously justify the freedoms of itinerant beggars and the activities of European colonists in the Indies. She goes on to examine the boundaries of the state in multiple senses, including the fundamental barrier between human beings and animals and the limits of the state in the face of the natural lives of its subjects, as well as territorial frontiers. Drawing on a wide range of authors, Brett reveals how early modern political space was constructed from a complex dynamic of inclusion and exclusion. Throughout, she shows that early modern debates about political boundaries displayed unheralded creativity and virtuosity but were nevertheless vulnerable to innumerable paradoxes, contradictions, and loose ends.
Changes of State is a major work of intellectual history that resonates with modern debates about globalization and the transformation of the nation-state.

(Principal Investigator: Linda Chang, M.D.; funding source: NIDA - 1R01 DA035659; Project Period: 09/15/12 – 06/30/17)
This is a double-blind placebo controlled trial that utilizes a novel computerized working memory training program to improve the cognitive function in HIV patients. We further aim to evaluate the brain changes associated with the training effects using functional MRI techniques. We will also determine whether individuals with a particular genotype will show better training effects. Lastly, we will explore whether neuroinflammation may impact the training effects.

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Thousands of people are expected to attend a public memorial service Monday afternoon for former Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle who was shot to death at a Texas shooting range.
Mourners will gather at Cowboys Stadium to pay tribute to the 38-year-old who completed four tours of duty in Iraq and wrote the best-selling book American Sniper.
Another Iraq War veteran, 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh, has been charged in the killings of Kyle and his friend Chad Littlefield at a gun range Feb. 2. Routh is being held in Erath County on $3 million bond.
Kyle will be buried at the Texas State Cemetery in Austin after a 200-mile funeral procession starting in the Dallas area Tuesday morning.
The director of the nonprofit that Kyle set up to give in-home fitness equipment to physically and emotionally wounded veterans has said that Kyle and Littlefield apparently had been helping Routh work through post-traumatic stress disorder.
Kyle, Littlefield and Routh were all together Feb. 2 when they arrived at the shooting range at Rough Creek Lodge, about 50 miles southwest of Fort Worth, authorities say. Routh later fled the range in Kyle s truck and went to his sister s home.
According to a search warrant, Routh told his sister and brother-in-law that the men were out shooting target practice and he couldn t trust them so he killed them before they could kill him. Routh s sister called the police, describing her brother as psychotic. Routh was arrested after a short police chase.
Routh s brother-in-law told authorities that Routh had recently been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder. One of Routh s attorneys, J. Warren St. John, said his client had been released from the Dallas Veterans Affairs hospital against his family s wishes just two days before the shootings.
Littlefield s funeral was held Friday in Midlothian, where he and Kyle were neighbors. After the funeral, Littlefield s relatives said the men s outing with Routh was intended to be therapeutic.
Littlefield s father-in-law, Tom Montgomery, said Kyle regularly took veterans to the shooting range, and that Littlefield often assisted in efforts to help veterans.

While the internet offers an exciting world of experiences for kids and teens, it is important to be mindful that they could:
- experience cyber-bullying
- be exposed to inappropriate or harmful content
- be at risk from contact with strangers
- unknowingly or deliberately share personal information without realising they may be subject to identity theft, or that they are leaving behind an online footprint that might not reflect well on them in the future.
Many companies check to see if job applicants have online profiles. Be aware that the photos and information you share with your friends may not be what you want a prospective employer to see.
Resources for Kids and Teens
There are lots of online resources to help kids and teens understand how to stay safe online.
- Budd:e Primary - Budd:e for primary schools offers fun and engaging games and activities to build unique robots, while introducing basic practices that will equip children to stay safe and secure online. Topics include privacy, password creation, protecting personal details, virus scanning, secure websites, and scams.
- Budd:e Secondary - Budd:e for secondary schools explores advanced online safety and security topics, including: creating content, file sharing, pop-ups, privacy, sharing, scams, spam, spyware, malware, phishing, online transactions and computer viruses. Students can earn points answering questions to 'buy' parts and accessories to build a unique cyborg that can be used as an avatar on social networking sites.
- Cybersafety help – Information and Cybersafety help button.
- Cybersmart - Information and education to empower children to be safe online.
- Hector's World – A fun resource for younger children to learn about internet safety.
- ThinkUKnow - Internet safety program.
Resources for Teachers
The Budd:e Education Package is a series of media-rich and interactive learning activities for Australian school students.
Budd:e was developed as a key component of the Australian Government's Stay Smart Online initiative, aimed at creating a safer, more secure online environment for all Australians. Budd:e is consistent with the Ministerial Council on Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs' (MCEETYA) Statements of Learning for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
The package includes two modules which help primary and secondary students adopt safe and secure online practices and includes comprehensive teaching resources explaining how the content relates to stages of learning. Each module includes a glossary and useful background information for teachers and parents.

Cyber-bullying is when a person bullies another person using electronic technology. Cyber-bullies use mobile devices and computers, social media, text messages and websites.
Cyber-bullying includes:
- posting mean text messages or emails
- spreading rumors via email and/or social media
- distributing embarrassing pictures, videos and websites
- creating fake profiles for any of the above purposes.
Cyber-bullying is different from face to face bullying
- Cyber-bullying can happen 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and at any time of the day or night.
- Cyber-bullying messages and images can be posted anonymously and distributed quickly to a very wide audience. It can be difficult and often impossible to trace the source.
- Deleting inappropriate or harassing messages and pictures is extremely difficult after they have been posted or sent.
Kids and teens that are being cyber-bullied are often bullied in person as well. Regardless of how someone is bullied, the effects of bullying are the same.
Bullying used to just happen at school. Now, using social media and other online activities, kids and teens can be bullied anywhere, including at home and when alone.
What to do if your child is being cyber-bullied
- Talk to your kids and teens and encourage them to let you know if they feel bullied or intimidated.
- Let them know ignoring the problem will not make it go away, and there are things that they can do.
- Block the bully and change your privacy settings.
- Let your kids and teens know that their internet privileges will not be taken away if they report bullying to you.
- Encourage them not to respond when someone is being aggressive or hurtful online as it often makes the situation worse.
- Read the 'Easy Guide to Socialising Online' together – it's full of great information and advice.
- If someone is posting anything about your child online, especially personal information, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as they may be able to remove it.
- Be supportive your child and give them information on specialist support that can help.
- Collect the evidence – keep mobile phone messages and print emails or social networking conversations.
- Report cyber-bullying to your child's school. If you have serious concerns for your child's safety, contact your local police.
Inappropriate content
Not all websites are suitable for kids and teens. Some contain inappropriate content that may be sexually explicit, violent, prohibited or even illegal.
Prevent kids and teens from inadvertently or intentionally accessing inappropriate content
- Use internet content filters, which are available from your ISP, as they can:
- recognise offensive web content and restrict access to it
- be individually set for different members of your family
- set time limits for online use
- help you monitor the online activities of your family members.
- Discuss the kinds of sites that are okay to explore, and those that are not. Let your kids and teens know that not all websites are suitable for them.
- Explore the internet together and bookmark websites for them that you have approved.
- Talk to your kids about the risks. Encourage them to come to you if they see anything inappropriate online and let them know that their internet privileges will not be taken away if they do.
- Encourage the use of computers and mobile devices in a common area, like the family room or the kitchen to make it easier to monitor use of the internet.
- Install the Cybersafety Help Button on all personal computers and devices.
Protecting personal information and privacy
You are recognised online by your personal details. If the wrong person has that information they can steal your identity, pretend to be you on social media and even access your finances.
Educate your kids on how to protect their personal information and privacy
- Do not give out personal details about yourself or your family including:
- full name, date of birth or age
- where you live
- where your children go to school
- contact details including email addresses
- bank account details
- user names and passwords.
- Help your child to understand the importance of using strong usernames and passwords that do not reveal anything personal. For example 'Katy1998' could reveal name, gender and age. Use a different username and password for each online account.
- Explain how to recognise spam, usually messages from people or organisations you do not know, and delete them without opening them.
- Support your child and explain that if they are not sure about whether they should be sharing something online to ask an adult first.
- Encourage family discussions about safe online practises, making it easy for kids and teens to ask you anything.

It seems the courts through a Freedom of information act lawsuit is standing by the U.S. government and not allowing the release of the U.S. governments plan to shut down the internet and cell phone service (plan SOP303) in times of emergencies. In other words if there was civil unrest.
The reason why the lawsuit was filed in the first place was due to when all cell phone service was cut in San Francisco during the BART unrest.
The court is being asked to revisit their ruling.
The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in February sided (PDF) with the government and ruled that the policy did not need to be disclosed under a Freedom of Information Act request from the Electronic Privacy Information Center. The court agreed with the government's citation of a FOIA exemption that precludes disclosure if doing so "could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or physical safety of any individual."
EPIC asked the court to revisit its ruling, arguing that the decision, "if left in place, would create an untethered 'national security' exemption'" in FOIA law. On Friday, the court ordered (PDF) the government to respond—a move that suggests the appellate court might rehear the case.
What is as always the case is the U.S.'s position around the world is "Do as we say not as we do".
Remember the U.S. State Department has always condemned other countries for shutting down the internet and cell phone service during unrest. They condemned Egypt and Syria in 2011 during their unrest for shutting down services.
The U.S. will not release in what situations they would/will cut off all services. That is a major problem considering U.S. citizens do not 'trust' their government regarding our civil liberties anymore after decades of our rights being abolished.
Just as the Patriot Act is coming up June 1st for renewal, of which I have no doubt will sail through the Congress and Obama will sign it. Even if millions called to express their displeasure of the Patriot Act and our Constitutional Rights being shredded due to it, they will ignore the people and do as they are told.
The fact that the U.S. even has a plan shows our civil liberties are not provided no matter what. It proves the U.S. government will take away our rights in seconds because they can. They will do the same thing here and it has been said they did it during the Ferguson Missouri unrest using 'Stingray'.
After watching Last Week with John Oliver's video asking people in Times Square who Edward Snowden is and the answers given, I fully realized U.S. citizens are the ones who just don't give a damn. The U.S. citizens themselves are the ones to blame for what has happened in this country. We are the ones who have allowed the government to take away our rights, through many decades of ignoring what D.C. did. We are the ones who have allowed the government and media to have us live through 'fear' and thus allow our Constitution to be shredded due to following the 'fear' mongering.
The truth is, it is up to all of us to change what is happening. But we first have to change ourselves. We have to stop following the carrot put in front of us by the media and government, leading us to our own demise of freedoms in being told what we are suppose to think. We need to start thinking for ourselves. We need to start believing in ourselves and not believe what others tell us to. We need to stand for freedom which is everyone's natural born right. We need to do all of this in an attitude of Love for ourselves and our country.
It is time for people to wake up in understanding, fear is not the way to live and direct our lives. Once we stop allowing the government to control our emotions and thoughts through fear we will then gain control of what is happening.
It really is up to all of us and beginning to fully understand our own power and where we put our energy.
Even though this song was written for Africa 30 years ago. It applies today to ourselves and our country.
"There is a choice we are making we are saving our own lives. It is true we make a brighter day, just you and me" "Let's start giving" Lets start giving of ourselves!

Mayor Bob Stephens speaks to lawmakers at a breakfast meeting on Friday. Jonathan Shorman/News-Leader
- Filed Under
City officials made their pitch to lawmakers Friday for why they should allow the municipal court to charge up to $10 per citation, but lawmakers had questions.
In its 2014 legislative priorities, the Springfield City Council asks the General Assembly to approve the new fee to fund construction of a new municipal courts building. The city asked unsuccessfully for the fee last year and is trying again.
At a Friday breakfast, city staff walked lawmakers through the priorities, with the fee at the top of the list of new legislation the city wants. ...

Go West young man"!! After 44 years in NY this boy picked up and moved to California. I relocated to SoCal in April of 2009. I come from a large family and already have a built-in family on the West Coast...2 aunts, 5 cousins and many nieces & nephews. About me? I'm old school, contemporary and everything in between. I'm a bundle of contradictions. I wear a suit and tie for work but my mentality is very much 60's & 70's...peace & love! I'm fairly conservative in nature and very rarely out of control but at the same time very outgoing and open. I'm a man's man but on the other hand I'm very domesticated (the product of four sisters). A female childhood friend recently described me as masculine with boyish charm...you just feel good when you're around him. My experiences have clearly made me who I am today. While my relationships have mostly been long term in nature, for one reason or another (and there are some good ones), none of them have made it to the altar. Funny thing is if you asked me when I was in college I would have guaranteed you I'd be married with 3 kids by the time I was 25. I'm extremely loyal, faithful & dependable and I believe in Love. Sometimes life just takes you down a different path. Please note: I am not a serial dater. Either way I'm still having fun and when it happens...it happens. I stay healthy, I stay in great shape and I'm truly a kid at heart. I love kids (and they love me) and animals (getting a dog soon). I work hard and have had a successful career in sales but my approach has always been the same - I don't live to work, I work to live. My date: I don't have a particular physical description of her but I WILL know her when I meet her. I'll take an excerpt from my favorite band to describe how I want to feel about her: If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. When mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me. And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine we walk the miles. Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Barney Frank comments on the Log Cabin Republicans endorsement of Mitt Romney.
In a deeply unprincipled move, the gay organization Log Cabin Republicans has endorsed Mitt Romney for President. The "qualified endorsement," which was announced on October 23, 2012, credits the economy as the overriding issue of the campaign and discounts Romney's homophobic record.
As reported by Justin Snow in MetroWeekly, LCR Executive Director R. Clarke Cooper said that the organization's 15-member National Board of Directors "was almost unanimous in its decision to endorse Romney, with one dissenting member."
Cooper said that LCR had extensive meetings with Romney campaign staffers in which "actual tangibles" were discussed. According to Chris Johnson of the Washington Blade, Romney himself attended a secret meeting with members of the group on October 17, 2012 at Greenwood Farm in Leesburg, Virginia.
The meeting, which was also attended by LCR trustee and former Congressman Jim Kolbe, allegedly included a discussion about workplace discrimination, but attendees who spoke to the Washington Blade would not confirm any commitments made by Romney.
Ironically, Kolbe, who was outed by activists in 1996 after he voted in favor of the Defense of Marriage Act, reportedly complained to Romney about the potential deportation of his foreign-born partner as a result of the very law he supported. Romney allegedly nodded but offered no response.
News of the discussions between the LCR and the Romney campaign set off a great deal of speculation in the blogosphere that Romney had promised to endorse the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), which would outlaw discrimination in employment on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. Cooper eventually clarified that Romney had made no such commitment.
However, even if he had, why would anyone believe anything that Romney said, especially in a meeting held under the veil of secrecy? The Republican candidate has a long and rich record of dissembling. Nothing he says can be trusted.
Although the endorsement takes note of Romney's opposition to marriage equality and the very public commitment he made to the National Organization for Marriage to support a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, the organization labels his homophobic pledge an "empty promise."
"In our judgment, the NOM pledge is ultimately merely symbolic and thus should not be the basis of a decision to withhold an endorsement from an otherwise qualified candidate," reads the endorsement.
It is unclear why the Log Cabin Republicans believe that their candidate is lying to the National Organization for Marriage and not to them. Why would they think a man who will meet with them only in secrecy is someone who respects them?
The fact is that their candidate is not a man of honor. He is someone who is prepared to say anything to anyone if it will aid his goal of becoming President of the United States. Only a fool would place any faith in his word.
The Log Cabin Republicans describe themselves as the "only Republican organization dedicated to representing the interests of LGBT Americans and their allies." However, their endorsement of a man who has made his anti-gay record a centerpiece of his appeal to the religious right does nothing to further the interests of glbtq Americans and our allies.
As Ben Adler writes in The Nation, "Romney's greatest asset as a politician is his total lack of integrity, honesty or consistency. He is perfectly willing to go before the religious right one day and pledge fealty to them, and the Log Cabin Republicans the next day to do the same. And, apparently, that is what he has done, in private."
The endorsement is particularly disturbing inasmuch as the former Massachusetts governor who attempted to block marriage equality in the Bay State is running against the most glbtq-supportive President in the history of the United States.
As Barney Frank has said, "We have never in American history had a sharper distinction between a very supportive candidate and platform and one that's very opposed."
The President's record is clear. In addition to signing the hate crimes bill and legislation that repealed Don't Ask, Don't Tell (which Romney opposed), he has endorsed marriage equality; appointed a record number of glbtq officials; ordered the Justice Department not to defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court; ended the ban on HIV-positive visitors and immigrants; directed the Department of Health and Human Services to issue regulations requiring all hospitals receiving Medicaid and Medicare to prohibit discrimination in visitation and honoring medical directives; directed the Department of Housing and Urban Development to prohibit discrimination in federal public housing programs and federally insured mortgage loans; and directed the Office of Personnel Management to expand benefits for the same-sex partners of federal employees.
Most tellingly, the President's support for equal rights has been openly and repeatedly expressed throughout his presidency. Unlike Romney, he has not had to arrange secret meetings with his glbtq supporters.
Whatever private commitment Romney may or may not have made to the Log Cabin Republicans, in public he has repeatedly stressed his support for "traditional" marriage and his intent to defend DOMA in court.
Romney has not only won the endorsement of the National Organization for Marriage and signed its homophobic pledge, he has also contributed his own money to the organization.
Most recently, Romney's campaign declared that being able to visit a dying spouse in the hospital is a "privilege," not a right.
As Jamie McGonnigal reported in the HuffingtonPost Romney campaign adviser Bay Buchanan declared, "Governor Romney also believes, consistent with the 10th Amendment, that it should be left to states to decide whether to grant same-sex couples certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights and the ability to adopt children."
A Romney presidency will not only lead the country backward, it will make the lives of glbtq people more difficult in both little and large ways.
The endorsement of Romney by the Log Cabin Republicans is not only unprincipled, it is shameful.
