Thanks for at least trying to address these questions.
Frankly I’m surprised NOT to see a reference to Massachusetts in “supported gay marriage.” That’s the only place I see Mitt speaking directly to the issue, and one could argue he was just emphatically bowing down before the Massachusetts screams. DADT doesn’t clearly bear on “gay marriage” and most knuckle dragging conservatives recognize that full open gayness is just asking for big trouble in relationships between troops.
