Goodhair said this - out loud

“There is still a land of opportunity, friends — it’s called Texas,” Perry said. “We’re creating more jobs than any other state in the nation. … Would you rather live in a state like this, or in a state where a man can marry a man?”

1. Perry is a jerk.

But has White commented on stuff like this? His website, from what I see, doesn't have any LGBT material or talking points.

I can't wait until Texas has so many democrats elected it doesn't have to think twice before mentioning gays.

Just because it's nice saying, I'll say it again: Perry is a jerk. A JERK.

2. White's position could be much better

An excerpt from the http://www.dallasvoice.com/bill-whites-response-to-the-gay-marriage-question-leads-to-well-more-questions-1012362.html">Dallas Voice:

“Same-sex marriage is precluded by the Texas Constitution. I believe Texas state government has more pressing issues than support or repeal of state constitutional amendments on this subject. My personal position has been the same as was expressed by President Obama in the last campaign. … I did vote against the state constitutional amendment in protest of wedge issue politics.”

I don't agree with White's position. I support full and equal rights for LGBT citizens. Just the same, I will be voting for Bill White.

As for Perry the jerk, here's more on his despicable, hateful comment with a touch of audio:

4. Looks like White is the real jerk

Because he cares about ALL the citizens of Texas, rather than a special few who can make *ahem* certain people richer.
