The above photo has been making the Tumblr rounds as further evidence that Mitt Romney, who once allegedly roughed up a gay prep school classmate and cut off his hair, was indeed a homophobic bully in his younger years. There’s just one problem: The picture is a fake. Vanity Fair made it for a satirical slideshow of “imagined” old Romney photos. If you’d like to attack Romney for his real anti-gay views—and there are some signficant ones—feel free to do so. But don’t form any opinions about him based on this silly photoshopped image. —Cord Jefferson
