Poor Rick Santorum. After finishing third in South Carolina, he just got glitter-bombed. Again.

Members of the occupy Charleston movement hurled glitter at Rick while screaming “Gay rights!” and “Occupy!” Perhaps not quite the consolation prize he was looking for.

Santorum has a long track record as an opponent of gay rights.

Perhaps the most violent controversy was spurred by a 2003 interview during which some claim he equated gay marriage with bestiality and pedophilia. (An excerpt of the interview transcript is here).

More recently, he was booed by students during an interview in New Hampshire when he repeatedly brought up polygamy during a series of questions about gay marriage.

Even Meghan McCain (daughter of Sen. John McCain) has gone on the record calling Santorum’s views “dated,” and, “gross”.

Santorum may be confused as to what gay marriage actually is. We recommend someone show him this handy diagram, stat.
