People forget that Romney has been far to the left of Obama on homosexual issues, before it was cool.
Romney supported fully homosexualizing the military and gay Scout leaders, and full homosexual rights, 20 years ago and was campaigning on it, as governor he gave America gay marriage.
Most haven't forgotten that, but in November 2012 it was either going to be Obama or Romney. If we had won Congress in addition to the White House, we might have been able to reel him in on that issue. Of course we got neither.
