CharlesWayneCT, why are you still lying about this?
This is one of the more bizarre lies that Romney supporters have come up with.
It's a widely publicized and admitted fact that Mitt Romney supported (supports?) gay Scout leaders.
Your denial of widely publicized and documented fact is bizarre.
I’ve dealt with a specific claim, and a specific youtube video.
I’m not Mitt Romney, so I can’t speak to what he believes. I can quote what he says now, which I did previously, and I can point out that a poster is wrong about a question from 1994.
If you want to change the parameters of the conversation, do it without me. This has been a waste of time enough already.
IF you want to argue that the 1994 youtube video is a question about gays joining the Boy Scout Executive Board, I’ll discuss it with you. That was the original claim, and it is in my opinion clearly incorrect.
As to the piece you quote, it is the truth. I do NOT know that. I don’t know under what authority you choose to call me a liar about something I say I don’t know, when you don’t know me and have no idea what I know.
Heck, even the entire question here is a misdirection. It is stated as if Romney is “attacking” the Boy scouts. But he clearly said in 1994, and clearly says today, that they have every right to make their own rules.
His opinion on whether he would have chosen those rules is completely independent of any “attack”.
At the time he was asked the question, he was on the executive board, which is a SUPPORTING position, not an attacking position.
Look, I know people who are ATTACKING the Boy Scouts. The Mormons on the other hand are STRONG supporters of the Boy Scouts.
I was just at a camp run by a guy for the Boy Scouts, and he was praising the local Mormons for all they do for him and his place, and noting the close tie between Mormon congregations and the Boy Scouts.
