A Cinderella story.

Most people love hearing such a story – of how a person who started out in a dire circumstance was able to turn his life around and has lived happily ever after. There are those who root for the underdogs, hoping that despite the odds, they will come out the victor.

But for some reason, people are finding it difficult to root for former Texas Gov. Rick Perry – even just on reality TV show, Dancing With the Stars.

As a backgrounder, Perry failed to get the Republican Presidential nomination, not once but twice and has somehow become a staple of American jokes. Members of the LGBTs hates him for his views on homosexuality and his anti-same-sex marriage stance.
