Queer Quote: Frank Schubert Reacts To Epic Fail


Frank Schubert is the man behind the anti-gay, deceptive ads promoting the heterosexual supremacist position on all four ballot measures in Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington.
After losing all four ballot measures, Schubert issued an official statement which  is today's "Queer Quote":
"I am, of course, very disappointed with the very narrow defeat it appears we’ve suffered in each of these four states. It appears that we have lost by a point or two in each state. It’s important to consider that these battles occurred in a very difficult political landscape. We were contesting in four deep blue states and were outspent very badly in all of them – at least four-to-one, and greater in some states. I have to accept that losing in this very difficult political environment was always a real possibility. 
"I firmly reject the spin surely to come that this result signals a fundamental shift in American opinion in support of gay marriage. It means that we very narrowly lost four difficult contests in four very deep blue states after being badly outspent. Despite the outcome, I am extremely grateful to all the donors, volunteers, staff, vendors and committee members who were part of our team. I am honored to have played a role in these campaigns to preserve marriage in America. It is an institution worth defending, and I look forward to continuing to play a role in this historic debate." 
Of course you would probably continue the fight for discrimination too if you made more than $3 million this year alone!
