    I’m going to circulate this among several GLBT groups, and organizers should be sure to include the GLBT community in outreach efforts. Romney’s 9C cuts came the day after the legislature outmaneuvered him on the same-sex marriage ban, and sure enough, GLBT youth suicide prevention programs, domestic violence services involving same-sex couples, and AIDS prevention and awareness funding were savaged. Romney’s treatment of the GLBT community has been barbaric, and we’ll join up with just about anybody to push back against his abuse of power.
