Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has been busy working to shore up the support of his conservative base as he mulls a run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2012.
This could explain his views in the following Newsweek interview, in which he enumerates his belief in creationism and announces that while he once may have supported gay equality, he doesn’t any more. He even recants a past vote in support of anti-discrimination legislation.
Pawlenty’s main reason for recanting the anti-discrimination support? He wants to protect kids from cross-dressing elementary-school teachers.
