You need to take a look at what Romney knew about these judges at the time he appointed them, because gay marraige didn't become a big, front-page issue until last year. This could be more a case of Romney and his staff not anticipating where the liberal judiciary was going in Mass, rather than appointing known supporters of gay marraige. Mass is a very difficult state for a Republican governor and I'm sure that at this time Romney is constantly working to anticipate the crazy, far-left legislative proposals that are getting thrown at him by the Dems. But he's got some work to do to explain what he knew about these judges when he appointed them.
They were KNOWN FOR being pro-gay marriage activists/lobbyists before being appointed.

He appointed pro-gay marriage activists/lobbyists who were personally homosexual and by the way were liberal Democrats.

Romney, despite his opposition to same-sex marriage, in May selected for a district court judgeship Stephen S. Abany, a former board member of the Massachusetts Lesbian and Gay Bar Association who organized the group's opposition to a 1999 bill to outlaw same-sex marriage. Just two days before the nomination, Romney was lamenting the liberal tilt of the state's bench, telling Fox News that ''our courts have a record here in Massachusetts, don't they, of being a little blue and being Kerry-like."
