Newt Gingrich was showered with rainbow glitter, courtesy of a 24-year-old LGBT activist, prior to the 2012 presidential candidate's Tuesday appearance at the antigay Minnesota Family Council's annual dinner.

"Feel the rainbow, Newt," activist Nick Espinosa said as he poured the glitter on Gingrich and his wife, Callista, during a book signing, according to ABC News. "Stop the hate. Stop antigay politics. It's dividing our country and it's not fixing our economy."

Espinosa later told ABC, "I don't think a free-will adulterer like Newt has any ground to stand up while telling others who they can and can't love."
