A Republican lawmaker attended his gay son’s wedding just three days after joining the majority of his GOP colleagues in voting against a House bill that would codify federal protections for same-sex marriage.

The gay son of Rep. Glenn Thompson, R-Pa., confirmed to NBC News on Monday that he “married the love of [his] life” on Friday and that his “father was there.” NBC News is not publishing the names of the grooms, neither of whom is a public figure.

Thompson’s press secretary, Maddison Stone, also confirmed the congressman was in attendance.

“Congressman and Mrs. Thompson were thrilled to attend and celebrate their son’s marriage on Friday night as he began this new chapter in his life,” Stone said in an email, adding that the Thompsons are “very happy” to welcome their new son-in-law “into their family.”

Two more paragraphs at the link.

Every single one of them is evil and/or a hypocrite.

1. Frankly...

If one of my parents/siblings/relatives of any degree were in a position of power and voted against me and my life, to include my bodily autonomy, that would pretty much end our relationship.

Fact is, I'd cut you out for even holding such opinions against my person.

This isn't like a disagreement on how to balance the budget.

Such bigoted attitudes and actions are harmful and dangerous.

2. And yet NBC can't quite bring itself to ask Rep. Hypocrite about his vote

By the way, there are several more paragraphs at the link now, mostly a re-hash of legislation passed by the House. This is just another exhibit in the never ending series of Republicans getting away with something the media would pounce on a Democrat for.

4. If the GOP didn't have hypocrisy, they'd stand for absolutely nothing.

5. LOL! n/t

6. Mr. Thompson obviously loves political power

a lot more than he loves his son. Eventually karma will get him.
