Mitt Romney's Pro-Gay Stance
Today's New York Times pokes a big hole in Mitt Romney's efforts to portray himself as the conservative alternative to John McCain:
Mr. Romney’s standing among conservatives is being hurt by a letter he sent to the Log Cabin Club of Massachusetts saying that he would be a stronger advocate for gay rights than Senator Edward M. Kennedy, his opponent in a Senate race, in a position that stands in contrast to his current role as a champion of a state constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage.
“We must make equality for gays and lesbians a mainstream concern,” Mr. Romney wrote in a detailed plea for the support of the club, a gay Republican organization.

Are you saying that homosexuals should have fewer rights than heterosexuals? Please explain how you criticize Romney for promoting equal rights and fighting discrimination. All along Romney's been publicly outspoken against gay marriage and civil unions . . . he just emphasized his anti-discrimination stance (that is what ALL politicians do--emphasize areas of common ground)
Sad if some think gays SHOULD be discriminated against in the areas Romney emphasized.
