Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, an outspoken, longstanding critic of gay rights, will appear in Bellevue and Spokane this fall, as ballots that include a same-sex marriage referendum get mailed to Washington voters.
Santorum is slated to speak at events Oct. 9 and 10 sponsored by the Family Policy Institute of Washington, which upholds the “sanctity” of marriage and advocates “lifelong heterosexual monogamous marriage.”
Joseph Backholm, head of the institute, helped put Referendum 74 on the ballot and chairs Preserve Marriage Washington, which is mobilizing the “No” campaign.

Rick, I wish you were our nominee.
You are very wrong on some things- the typical things about which Republicans are wrong, involving idolatrous worship of the Invisible Hand- but on marriage you are right.
May God prosper you in your defense of that which is right.
Excellent. The Left Coast needs him.
As a supporter of SSM, I totally support this plan!
Go Santorum!
