A day after Mitt Romney said he was “fine” with gay adoption, he took it back. Suddenly, it’s not “fine.”
He said on Thursday: “And if two people of the same gender want to live together, want to have a loving relationship, or even to adopt a child — in my state, individuals of the same sex were able to adopt children. In my view, that’s something that people have a right to do. But to call that ‘marriage’ is something that, in my view, is a departure from the real meaning of that word.”
On Friday,he was asked, in an interview with CBS affiliate WBTV in Charlotte, N.C., how his opposition to gay marriage “squared” with his support for gay adoptions. Romney told anchor Paul Cameron, “Well, actually I think all states but one allow gay adoption,

This is the most gayest day ever here on FR...lol I counted 89 articles today with gay in the headline
Nobody really knows anything about Romney’s internal beliefs or convictions, or even why he is in politics, do they?
He is just words and motion moving toward another personal accomplishment of some type.
Well, bully for him.
Isn’t this the same man who as Chief Executive of Massachuesetts forced every community to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples?
He was for it before he was against it...hmmm..where did I hear that before?
He doesn’t appear to have any convictions.
Next week Obama will find another tune for Romney to dance to.
Romney is a reed that blows in the wind.
He is a poor candidate, but the only one we have right now.
It’s going to be rough voting for this poor little rich kid.
Fodder for Hill and Bill to reappear.
All this conservative stuff gets confusing for Romney.
“or even why he is in politics, do they?”
You almost get the impression he wants to be president sort of like getting another mansion. Bragging rights.
Read the article, it really does not qualify as a flip flop. He softened his statement a bit but he didn’t oppose gay adoption. Of course most of us here would want him to flip flop on this but he didn’t really.
I held my nose and voted for McCain. I didn’t believe anything he said, but he was predictable. I didn’t need to know what he said because I could anticipate what he would do. With Romney I haven’t a clue. I will not vote for him.
He really does need a 24 hour rule.
“No more than one flip or flop in any 24 hour period.”
How could you possibly identify a homosexual baby? And even if you did, why would you care what Romney thought about adopting it?
I cannot remember any significant GOP politician who had so much homosexual drama surrounding his life.

“All this conservative stuff gets confusing for Romney.”
Severely.
Romney always reminds me of a scene from ‘Pretty Woman’ when Julia Roberts’ character is asked “What’s your name?” and she replies ‘What do you want it to be?”
A gay man adopting a young boy.....that always ends well.
Oh, God, why did we get stuck with this man?
