The Most Anti-Gay US Politicians

Who are the most anti-gay U.S. politicians? The list is a long one, including politicians from both parties (though a majority are Republican). The politicians listed here are those who have spoken out vocally against gay rights, most notably, gay marriage.

Anti-gay politicians are the elected leaders whose rhetoric is often totally over-the-top against LGBT rights. Their voting record on key civil rights issues speaks for itself. Some of these conservative politicians are members of the U.S. House of Representatives, while others are notable U.S. Senators.

Former GOP presidential candidates are also on this list, including, of course Pennsylvania's Rick Santorum and Minnesota House of Representatives member Michele Bachmann. Both have been vocal and steadfast in their opposition to any kind of gay rights for years (Santorum even compared gay marriage to sex with dogs).
