I had seen a clip of this Romney encounter on TV a few times, but seeing the full version here, including the man’s comments after Romney leaves, really tells the full story.

It is fascinating to watch politicians have to look gay people in the eye as they advocate for their inequality. The abstract “gay” is very different from the gay veteran sitting at a diner with his husband, or a lesbian mother showing off her ridiculously cute daughters in the face of a mayor who made a derogatory statement about “queers” on Facebook.

It is really starting to feel like the politics have changed so much since 2004. If marriage equality becomes a major issue in 2012, I think it’s actually going to be a really bad thing for Republicans. Though Obama better keep “evolving” if he’s going to be on the right side of history.

A bad thing for everyone except Ron Paul. Despite personally thinking marriage should be between a man and woman, he believes government has never been granted authority over its definition and that marriage should be a strictly private matter. If government involvement were removed, personal definitions of marriage would then be protected by the First Amendment and there would be no law forcing people to follow one view or another.

“ I was there to take down the names of people who were arrested… As I’m standing there, some African-American woman goes up to a police officer and says, ‘I need to get in. My daughter’s there. I want to know if she’s OK.’ And he said, ‘Move on, lady.’ And they kept pushing with their sticks, pushing back. And she was crying. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he throws her to the ground and starts hitting her in the head,” says Smith. “I walk over, and I say, ‘Look, cuff her if she’s done something, but you don’t need to do that.’ And he said, ‘Lady, do you want to get arrested?’ And I said, ‘Do you see my hat? I’m here as a legal observer.’ He said, ‘You want to get arrested?’ And he pushed me up against the wall.
