Have you heard some of the shocking things the GOP candidates are saying when asked about LGBT rights during their campaign for their party's nomination?

Rick Santorum thinks gay couples don't live in every state, only in certain ones. There aren't any gay people in your state, right?

Mitt Romney can't remember whether he stands for equality or not. How unfortunate.
