It seems to have something to do with gay rights for both Coulter and Drudge.

Yes, remember that Gingrich was very outspoken about the gay issue when he told that gay guy something to the effect that if he wanted him (Gingrich) to promote “gayness” then he (the gay guy) should vote for somebody else, because Gingrich wasn’t going to do it...but if he wanted somebody to promote a society that was beneficial to everybody, then he should vote for Gingrich.

"It seems to have something to do with gay rights for both Coulter and Drudge."
Romney: "Well, I think youre partially right in characterizing Ted Kennedy as supportive of the gay community, and I respect the work and the efforts hes made on behalf of the gay community and for civil rights more generally, and I would continue that fight.
Theres something to be said for having a Republican who supports civil rights in this broader context, including sexual orientation. When Ted Kennedy speaks on gay rights, hes seen as an extremist. When Mitt Romney speaks on gay rights, hes seen as a centrist and a moderate. Its a little like if Eugene McCarthy was arguing in favor of recognizing China, people would have called him a nut. But when Richard Nixon does it, it becomes reasonable. When Ted says it, its extreme; when I say it, its mainstream.
I think the gay community needs more support from the Republican party and I would be a voice in the Republican party to foster anti-discrimination efforts."
