That tweet accompanying the audio disingenuously portrays the bill as specifically about gays to be allowed to visit their dying partners in hospital when it
wasn't.
Tweet could have been worded: "Conservative politician opposed a bill allowing domestic partnerships of gay couples decades ago." but that wouldn't cause a social media outrage.
Looks like our 2018 blinders are on again. Social attitudes towards homosexuality have definitely come a long way in a short time. Friendly reminder that
Obama was against gay marriage only ten years ago. Is he a deplorable too because he held that position?
