Rick Santorum has pledged to give up
his life battling against gay marriage.

Shane Vander Hart asked Santorum, “What are the hills you'll die
on?” Santorum said there were “a lot of important things that
hang in the balance in this country right now.”
“The battle we're engaged in right
now is same-sex marriage, ultimately that is the very foundation of
our country, the family, what the family structure is going to look
like,” Santorum said. “I'll die on that hill.” (The video is
embedded in the right panel of this page.)
Among candidates vying for the GOP
nomination for president, the former senator from Pennsylvania is
considered the most vociferous opponent of marriage equality.
Over the weekend, Santorum called a
Saturday Night Live skit that poked fun at his anti-gay
marriage views “bullying.”
In
the comedy sketch, Santorum is seen cowering in a gay bar in San
Francisco's Castro District sandwiched between men wearing tank tops
and leather vests.
“We've been hammered by the left for
my standing up for the traditional family and I will continue to do
so,” Santorum said. “The Left, unfortunately, participates in
bullying more than the Right does. They say that they're tolerant,
and they're anything but tolerant of people who disagree with them
and support traditional values.”
