After talking about traditional marriage at a Concord, New Hampshire, town hall meeting, Romney was confronted by Cynthia Fish. She’s gay. The exchange went like this:
“I am a gay woman and I have children. Your comment that you just made, it sort of invalidates my family. I wish you could explain to me more, why if we are sending our troops over to fight for liberty and justice for all throughout this country, why not for me? Why not for my family?” …
“Wonderful, I’m delighted that you have a family and you’re happy with your family. That’s the American way. ... People can live their lives as they choose and children can be a great source of joy, as you know. And I welcome that. There are other ways to raise kids that’s fine: single moms, grandparents raising kids, gay couples raising kids. That’s the American way, to have people have their freedom of choice.”
THank you for posting how Romney’s position is opposed to people who are gay who want special rights.
I do not believe government should prohibit a woman from getting pregnant and having a child based on her sexual preference.
I think children should be raised in homes with male and female parents, and government should support that arrangement through marriage and civil union laws, but government should not prohibit people from making their own decisions privately.
I guess we could force them to have abortions if we catch them, or force them to give up their children for adoption?
