It turns out that Gov. Rick "Hair" Perry is the author of more than one wingnut work of literature. Although last year's "Fed Up!" has been drawing attention for its far-out statement on Social Security, the Constitution, etc., he wrote a book a few years ago in which he compared homosexuality to alcoholism, putting him squarely in the "you can pray away the gay" camp of the Minnesota Loon and other Talibangelists. He also apparently thinks there's a heretofore undiscovered problem with families who "teach the gay lifestyle" (Gay 101?) as an "acceptable alternative" to heterosexuality.
While this ignorant nonsense goes down well with the mouthbreathing wingers that make up the Rethuglican / New Confederate base, it's rejected by the vast majority of Americans who know better. Again, as we've noted, the more that's known about this cowboy clown, the less likely the all-important independent voters will be to vote for him, should he be the Rethug nominee.
