In other words, Romney rightly affirms it is the right of an organization to set its own rules. If he were making the rules, he’d let homosexuals participate.

In Massachusetts in 2006, Romney pushed and passed law that DENIED the right of adoption agencies to set their own rules with regard to homosexual adoption. When Romney says he thinks gays should have the "right" to adopt children, what he really means is that government should have the right to PUNISH adoption agencies that refuse to cooperate with homosexuals.

May I add

The Catholic Churchs’ adoption services had to close in MA after providing adoption services for 109 years, because Romney said adoption agencies must let gays adopt. Sounds like the libs who say Chic-a-fil must agree with the homosexual lifestyle or close down your business. Actually it’s worse, because poor innocent children will suffer for Romney’s decision.

Romney's bill would let charities block gay adoptions

BOSTON (AP) — Republican Gov. Mitt Romney proposed legislation Wednesday that would allow Catholic Charities to refuse to arrange adoptions for gay couples....

Arline Isaacson, the co-chair of the Massachusetts Gay and Lesbian Political Caucus, said that Romney's proposal was reprehensible and that exempting groups from anti-discrimination laws would lead other groups to seek their own exemptions.
