Mitt Romney was anti-gay bully in high school

It’s hard to believe that Mitt Romney, who reaffirmed his opposition to gay marriage and civil unions yesterday, doesn’t remember cutting off the long, bleached-blond hair of a gay classmate while in prep school.

John Lauber never forgot it, according to an article in today’s Washington Post. He told a classmate in the mid-90s: ‘It was horrible. … It’s something I have thought about a lot since then.’

Lauber, who later came out to his friends and family, wore his hair long and blond for the rest of his life. He died in 2004.
