THIS IS GREAT! Governor Susana Martinez has lost a hair stylist thanks to her position against gay marriage.
Antonio Darden, a popular stylist who runs Antonio’s Hair Studio in Santa Fe, said he cut Martinez’ hair three times, but that’s it – unless she changes her mind about gay marriage.
“The governor’s aides called not too long ago, wanting another appointment to come in,” Darden said. “Because of her stances and her views on this I told her aides no. They called the next day, asking if I’d changed my mind about taking the governor in and I said no again.”
The governor has said she believes marriage should be between a man and a woman, and that does not cut it with Darden.
.
“I think it’s just equality, dignity for everyone,” the popular hair stylist said. “I think everybody should be allowed the right to be together. My partner and I have been together for 15 years.”
Darden said gay couples do not have the same rights that married couples have, and he is determined to fight that, even if it means losing an important customer.
Ironically, the governor has been taking heat from the religious right and from one prominent big-church fundamentalist preacher in particular, for appointing an openly gay man to a position on the state Public Regulation Commission.
Antonio… you have ALL my support in your protests against Susana, and hopefully many others will join along as well.

Kudos to Darden. Your seeing more gays and lesbians calling out those right-wing nut bags, who act like the have the right to tell how to live, and do whatever else.
Yes, and more and more women standing up for something we thought we days long passed. Very sad.
It is sad, and it shouldn’t that way…
No, it most absolutely should not.
I love this guy.
So do I!
Me three!
Keep ‘em coming!!! Yahoo!!!
love it!
Yes!
WTG Gay Hairdresser! Maybe he’ll start a national movement for all gay hairdressers to refuse service to anti-gay rights activists and politicians. There could be lots of socially conservative women (and men) out there suddenly having lots of “bad hair” days!
I hope so. In fact, all GLBT everywhere should start boycotting those who oppose same sex marriages. I work in hospitality, and I can confirm just from working with thousands of hotels all over the country, a GLBT strike would pretty much shut down most of the major hotels, especially 4 and 5 star, full service properties were the politicians stay. heehee… that’d be great! “Sorry, cannot book you in until you change your vote and make same-sex marriages legal in your state.”
I am sure it knows knows what a bad hair day is on top and definitely where the sun does not shine! I can imagine it knows all too well about bumps in the road!!!!
good on him. continue…
Exactly!
One of the first things that Martinez did when taking office is she cut off the funding for the Heeling Hearts dog rescue and training program. The one that my two dogs came through, and that I assist from time to time. Luckily, the Exec Director of PB&J was able to salvage the program and it is still going, primarily through donations alone.
Nice. A straightforward guy standing up for what he believes without being offensive about it!
Yes, very tastefully done.
Love this. That’s hitting a woman where it hurts!
LOL… yes it is.
Bravo!
Ayup!
