Gay Romney supporter and friend booted from rally for ... who knows?

Though Romney rallies may not have an explicit dress code, Iowa City residents Chase Gunderson and Adam Peters found out firsthand that looking a certain way can still get you banned from the event. After the two gay 20-somethings were kicked out of the rally without explanation, Peters wrote a Facebook note that is now being shared across the Internet. Peters expresses confusion, writing, "Mr. Romney- I may not support you... but my friend HAS and DID for the last 5 years ... yet, we weren't allowed to attend? Why? Was it because we are gay or looked too flamboyant for your rally?" Congratulations to President Obama for gaining two more votes.
