Governor: Protesting hairstylist too chatty for her
tastes Salon
owner turned down appointment request over gov.'s gay-marriage stance
Gov. Susana Martinez said Monday that she will continue
to fight efforts to legalize same-sex marriage in New Mexico despite the
refusal by a Santa Fe hairstylist to cut her hair because of her opposition to
marriage equality. COMMENT:
SORRY TO SOUND SEXIST, BUT WOULD A MALE GOVERNOR ANNOUNCE THIS?
Martinez told The Huffington
Post that the recent attention paid to gay stylist Antonio
Darden is a bit of a surprise because he isn't even her regular stylist, and
she thought he was too chatty on the occasions when she did go to his salon.
"First of all, if reporters would ask me the
first question, which would be, 'Is he my hair stylist?' The answer is
no," Martinez told The Huffington Post.
COMMENT: ASK THAT BEFORE ASKING WHY ARE YOU SUCH A
DORK ON IMMIGRANTS? "He did my
hair three times when I first moved to Santa Fe. But frankly he talked too
much. ... I just went, 'You know, I go here to relax.' "
The Republican governor also questioned how far
Darden would carry his protest. "I
guess this hairstylist would also refuse to cut President Obama's hair since he
also opposes gay marriage," Martinez spokesman Greg Blair said in an email
to The New Mexican. COMMENT: A
MARTINEZ GOTCHA.
Darden, owner of Antonio's Hair Studio, did not
return a phone call Tuesday seeking comment.
Two weeks ago, the 46-year-old Darden left the Governor's Office a voice
mail (hear that audio here) expressing his outrage
at her stance on gay marriage and said he not only would refuse to serve her
but hoped others in the Santa Fe area who work in the service industry would
follow suit.
"If I'm not good enough to be married, I'm not
going to cut her hair," Darden told The New Mexican last week. COMMENT: NOT SURE WHAT ONE HAS TO DO WITH THE
OTHER??? COMMENT: A SNIT WITH SNIPPERS? TEMPEST WITH A TEASE? GONNA WASH THAT WOMAN RIGHT OUT OF MY HAIR.
