Bottom Left Politics

Yep, it’s true.  It doesn’t get any more heartless than this.  Governor Don Carcieri believes that the right of a partner (not just a same-sex partner, either – the bill he so coldly vetoed would have applied to straight partners as well) to make the funeral arrangements of a deceased loved one is representative of (and I quote):

a disturbing trend over the past few years of the incremental erosion of the principles surrounding traditional marriage

And we’re supposed to believe that right-wingers like Carcieri don’t hate gay people?
