Governor Romney and his inexperienced establishment Republican staff apparently failed to notice that by putting sexual orientation on the same plane as race and religion, Romney just undercut the rational and philosophical basis for opposition to same sex marriage. It also played right into the hands of supporters of the radical homosexual agenda.

Read the above lines again. They're from the article. They are eminently sensible. It's like saying "self-defense, family in danger, and personal whim confront us when we decide to pull the trigger."

You have put on the level of acceptability an item that shouldn't be there.

I believe that in the SAME speech Romney stated his opposition to gay marriage.
