—Condemned as “just not normal” the choice of a fellow state senator and her lesbian partner to have a baby.
—Voted against repealing a two-hundred-year-old Massachusetts law that had previously been used to stop interracial marriages but was then being used to stop marriages of same-sex couples living out of the state.
—Criticized the Obama administration for stopping its defense of the discriminatory and unconstitutional Defense of Marriage Act
—Was the sole member of the Massachusetts state senate to vote against the independence of an LGBTQ youth commission, effectively supporting then-governor Mitt Romney’s threats to limit or even disband the group.

—Reportedly threatened the career of a fellow Republican state senator who voted against a proposed marriage ban.
