While Santorum's long-time opponents on the left have been shining a light his bigoted, backward politics to thwart his presidential campaign, it seems now those on the right are joining in by unveiling contradictions between homophobic politico's rhetoric and his post-Senate work:From "For All of Santorum's Traditionalism Rhetoric," posted over at the right-wing website RedState:

Universal Health Services, on whose board he sat until he left in June of this year, runs a PRIDE Institute in Minnesota. It’s the “nation’s first and leading provider of mental health service to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.”

We shouldn't however, hold it against Santorum. Often when principle and paycheck come in conflict, paycheck wins. Principle does not always feed a family.

Or is it a case of all those rumors being true?

It’s the “nation’s first and leading provider of mental health service to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community.”

He probably thought it offered "reparative" therapy for ex-gays.
