“The minor ones were the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy “


What is your source that he changed his view of don’t ask’, and what position did he go from and to, on the DADT policy?

This was Romney’s 1994 position on don’t ask, he thought it was fine and that it worked, but Romney wanted to impose full open homosexuality on the military.

“One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share.”
