That is a weird source to be using to defend Romney for his homosexual agenda support.

Yet another one of his flip flops. Romney bragged about his support of gay rights consistently and didn’t think DADT went far enough.

See post #32 on this thread, and that is just for starters.

Romney is a lying, flipflopping POS who is basically a paler Obama.

I would not use the gayest source you can find as proof that Romney is not pro-gay. The report they used was filled with misinformation.

Romney was pro-ENDA, by the grace of God it did not pass Congress. Romney was also pro gays in the military. He even had the audacity to say so in a 2008 debate and was booed for it. He appointed gays to Massachusetts courts. The same courts he used as cover to institute gay marriage in Massachusetts.

When the courts told the Massachusetts legislature to change the laws to allow gay marriage, the legislature balked. The dems in charge did not want to get thrown out of office. Mitt provided cover for them by ordering his justices of the peace to marry gays even though the courts did not instruct him or the executive branch to do anything and the courts by themselves were prohibited by law from instituting any new laws. Only the legislature could change the laws.

Since he knew the legislature was way too afraid of what the public would do to them if they passed gay marriage, Mitt decided to help both the democrat legislature and the gay cause by doing just what Obama likes to do, make legislation by executive order. So the courts got to see their wish for gay marriage fulfilled. The legislators were spared from having to defend gay marriage to the voters and Mitt could pretend there was nothing he could do about it, since he told everyone who would listen that the court made him do it.

I know of no other candidate in either party who can claim they have done as much for the gays as Mitt Romney. If he were running for democrat nominee, he’d be claiming it right now.
