LGBT activist interrupts Gingrich speech in Minnesota

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich was interrupted by LGBT activists while he was giving a campaign speech in Minnesota.

"Hey Newt, why do you support discrimination against gays and lesbians all the time?" a young man yelled at Gingrich.

The crowd at the event responded with loud boos and began chanting "Newt."

The brief protest was organized by activist Nick Espinosa.

Espinosa “glitter bombed” Gingrich last year, making him the first 2012 presidential candidate to be doused with sparkly rainbow confetti for his opposition to same sex marriage and LGBT rights.

Although Gingrich at first brushed off the incident, he later told the New York Times that the act was “clearly an assault and should be treated as such.”

Last week, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was "glitter bombed."
