That's a lie and you probably know better.

Romney ordered compliance with the state supreme court ruling on the last date allowable by the court then set about fighting to give the People a voice on the matter until the end of his term. He even sued the legislature do try to make that happen. He was not successful.

I'm afraid so. It was NOT the legislature. The corrupt Mass. Supreme Court ordered the legislature to legitimate gay marriage. They did not. But Romney stepped in and did it himself as governor, single-handed. He ordered all the clerks in the state to preside over and approve gay marriages, on pain of being fired if they refused.

Romney was the VERY FIRST politician in the country to institute gay marriage as state law. And he did it on his own. He was NOT forced to, although he pretended that he was.

I keep hoping that there is a way out of this mess, but Romney is a very questionable solution, I'm afraid. I'm hoping to see Obama lose the election, but I'm not at all sure that Romney can be counted on to undo anything that Obama did.

Romney instituted gay marriage? That’s a gross, malicious lie.

I think you are just jealous. You probably wish YOU had an entire state’s gay lobby hold a BIGOT rally against you like they did against Romney when he was trying to pass a Defense of Marriage ballot referendum.

“RALLY AGAINST ROMNEY “BIGOT!”

“ROMNEY FIGHTS FOR MARRIAGE VOTE”

Uploaded by BobSacamaneau on Nov 20, 2006

Governor Mitt Romney addresses a rally at the Massachusetts State House calling on the legislature to vote on a marriage amendment. The ballot initiative would allow the state’s citizens to vote on the definition of marriage. Currently the legislature is refusing to allow their constituents to vote on the matter, violating the Massachusetts Constitution.
