The Wrap-Up: April 18, 2012

 Mitt Romney has narrowed the gap between himself and President Obama.

Though I mentioned this yesterday, here is an actual list of ways marriage inequality hurts same-sex couples and their children at tax time.

Blue Dog Democrats (conservative Democrats) are on the brink of extinction.

In various states, an alliance has formed between Labor and LGBT equality groups.

Mitt Romney's definition of "freedom" is...skewed (at best).

The Florida "Family" Association has their panties in a bunch over LGBT characters in video games. If it weren't this giving them conniptions, it would be something else.

Tony Perkins, President of the so-called Family Research Council, seems to think that the repeal of the anti-gay DADT policy is to blame for male Secret Service members and their sex scandal with female prostitutes. Sounds more like a claim Pat Robertson would make.

Speaking of the Secret Service, they are investigating an alleged threat made on President Obama...by musician Ted Nugent.

Arch-homophobe and radio host Matt Barber thinks he knows more than the entire Australian Psychological Association. I think he needs to learn something about humility from Jesus.

And lastly, the assault on the separation of church and state.
