I recall hearing rumours about this years ago. Could it be as simple as that Mitt was involved in allowing homosexual “marriage” in Massachusetts, but Gingrich is against it?
One of the pro-gay Republicans, Margaret Hoover, said on FOX recently that while Romney says he has the same position on gay marriage as the other candidates, people like her believe he’s not convincing and only saying it to win over the base. I have no doubt all of her ilk see Romney the same way. And, as usual, the things he DID in Massachusetts, not the things he said, tell the tale...

As Governor, Romney Said “I Do” To Gay Marriage AT Least 189 Times
Romney’s statements, however, conflict with his gubernatorial behavior.
While Team Romney argues that the SJC forced it to give gay couples conventional marriage licenses, the special, one-day licenses are a strictly gubernatorial choice, as Massachusetts law unambiguously states:
“The governor MAY in his DISCRETION designate a justice of the peace in each town…as he considers expedient, to solemnize marriages…” The law continues: “…the governor MAY designate any other person to solemnize a particular marriage…” (Emphasis added.)
“Even if one accepts the Goodridge decision as constitutional, the one-day permits were above and beyond what was required by the court decision; they were purely discretionary,”
A gay guy was bugging Newt in Iowa, and Newt told him he should vote for someone else. Who knows, maybe that clip is circling around GOProud and riled them up.
