"Sometimes Even Haters Tell The Truth..."




In his haste to post a homophobic tweet in response to a federal judge's ruling striking down Texas' ban on gay marriage yesterday, Texas GOP state Senator Dan Patrick fired off this typo tweet:



"MARRIAGE= ONE MAN & ONE MAN. Enough of these activist judges. FAVORITE if you agree. I know the silent majority out there is with us!"
Patrick is a candidate for lieutenant governor.

He deleted the tweet and spent the rest of the day clarifying how entrenched his homophobia really is.

"Marriage is between one man and one woman. Period," he posted in a later tweet.
He later tweeted that he had meant to say: "MARRIAGE= ONE MAN & ONE WOMAN. Enough of these activist judges. FAVORITE if you agree. I know the silent majority out there is with us!

An hour after that, he added: "oops! #twittertypo. We have a new job opening on our campaign: social media intern. Send resume to contact (at) http://danpatrick.org ... I want to re-emphasize my long held position: Marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman. Period."


******

Does anyone else think he doth protest too much?  
He gives off a very closeted gay vibe to me.

The armchair psychoanalyst in me wants to declare:
"Freudian Slip!"

In any case, even haters sometimes tell the truth. even if by "accident."
