SAN FRANCISCO, June 17 (UPI) -- Two female activists doused Republican presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty with confetti and glitter as he signed books during an event in San Francisco.
Saying the former Minnesota governor lacks "the courage to stand up for gay rights and women's reproductive rights," the women Thursday threw the confetti at the man who last year vetoed a bill that would have allowed gay couples in Minnesota the right to the remains of deceased partner, the Los Angeles Times reported.
