PA senator Rick Santorum Makes Homophobic statement by comparing homosexality to incest, bigamy, and polygamy; disgraces nation

Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, yesterday made homophobic remarks during an interview with Associated Press. During the interview, he criticized homosexuality and insulted most of the nation by stating, "If the Supreme Court says that you have the right to consensual (gay) sex within your home, then you have the right to bigamy, you have the right to polygamy, you have the right to incest, you have the right to adultery. You have the right to anything." Senate Dems are already asking that Santorum resign from his leadership post, the number three slot of his party in the country. Although not surprised of this conservative's remark, people are outraged that someone of his standing in the US Government, and a representative of the people of Pennsylvania would make such a public statement. Ask for the resignation of this bigotby emailing him at :
