USA:- Massachusetts' new Senator isn't hot on gay rights

The Massachusetts election victory of Republican Scott Brown (seen above, posing for Cosmopolitan in 1982 - more about that at zap2it-com) hasn't gone down well with LGBT activists in the state.

"Arline Isaacson, Co-Chair of Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus stated, “Scott Brown has voted consistently against the LGBT community throughout his entire career in the Massachusetts legislature. His has not been an incidental opposition. He has voted against us loudly, proudly and
unequivocally.

Unfortunately, most people don’t realize just how bad his record is:

-He voted over 25 times against marriage equality, even when 3/4 of our legislature and many MA Republican legislators stood with us.
- He doesn’t support the Transgender Civil Rights & Hate Crimes bill
- He opposes repealing “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell”
- He opposes repealing the “Defense of Marriage Act” (DOMA)
- He has ridiculed LGBT parents as inadequate
- He supported anti-gay policies of George W Bush & Mitt Romney" (Connecticut News)

And apparently it's even worse than that - there's a lot more at The New Civil Rights Movement.
