It’s no secret that the Republican Party has made it part of their platform to spread hatred for gay people, but nevertheless most Republicans try to put a smiley face on it, and avoid coming right out and saying how they really feel.

Except Newt Gingrich, who was asked by a gay man yesterday how he plans to engage with the gay community.

Gingrich’s answer: “Vote for Obama.”

Oskaloosa, Ia. – Newt Gingrich told a gay man and longtime resident of Oskaloosa here today that he should vote for President Obama.

“I asked him if he’s elected, how does he plan to engage gay Americans. How are we to support him? And he told me to support Obama,” said Scott Arnold, an adjunct professor of writing at William Penn University.”

Newt apparently hates gays so much he’ll even pass up their votes. For a career politician like Gingrich, that’s very revealing.
