It’s the latter probably. He’s one boringly careful dude.
While what you say is true, MissM, don't forget that at recently as this April Romney came out in favor of gay couples, and making it worse, he said that at state level gay couples should have the right to adopt children.
In the debates he said he's fine with open homosexuality in the military.
In the past he's told gay groups that he's their best friend, that as a republican he'll be able to accomplish things for their agenda that no democrat could get away with. So, let's not kid ourselves about Mitt Romney and gays.
Then there's Ann Coulter, who would have been all over this first amendment issue a few years back.
Can anyone point me to her biting review of those who've attacked Chick-fil-A?
