Appallingly, Minnesota’s gay Republican will not vote for marriage equality bill

Via the Minnesota Independent

That doesn't even make sense. Voting for gay rights has no effect on the state's "bigger problems." I guess that this idiot has no conscience to vote. I also presume that his home has an absence of mirrors.

State Sen. Paul Koering, R-Fort Ripley, said Friday that he will not vote for the Marriage and Family Protection Act, a bill that would make Minnesota’s marriage laws gender-neutral, allowing same-sex couples many of the rights currently denied by Minnesota statute. Koering, who is gay and a Republican, said he would vote against it because the state faces bigger problems.
