Actually, the fact that Romney doesn’t believe in treating gays and lesbians as second class citizens makes me apt to support him more. I have friends who are gay and while I favor a federal marriage amendment, I don’t believe they should be denied the same basic rights that I enjoy. I don’t agree with the gay lifestyle at all, but that’t not really my place to judge.
Romney stated he is opposed to discrimination and I’m glad for it.

Opposing gay marriage has nothing to do with treating gays like “second class citizens.” That’s what the left says about the issue. Those who oppose gay marriage generally do so on the basis that it knocks out a major underpinning that supports the traditional family.
