MassResistance is attempting to persuade voters to choose an anti-gay write-in candidate over State Sen. Richard Tisei, an openly gay Republican running for lieutenant governor in Massachusetts, according to a report in EDGE publications:

MR is particularly incensed about Baker’s choice of Richard Tisei as his running mate, because Tisei is openly gay.

MR has lambasted Tisei as “”probably the most left-wing Republican officeholder in Massachusetts history. He is openly homosexual and is a co-sponsor of the radical ’Transgender Rights and Hate Crimes’ bill (H1728) currently in the Legislature. He strongly supports same-sex ’marriage’ and voted NOT to let the people vote on it.”

Tisei’s further nefarious doings: “He appears in a hideous pro-homosexual ’marriage’ propaganda video produced by the homosexual lobby (complete with phony statistics). He has a 100% rating by NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts and a 100% rating by Planned Parenthood. He co-sponsored the expanded buffer zone bill. He also co-sponsored the ’emergency contraception bill’ that was vetoed by Gov. Mitt Romney.”
