Mitt Romney: "I am not anti-gay..."
This is one of those actions speak louder than words kinda things so take it for what it's worth.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney insists that his opposition to same-sex marriage should not be interpreted as intolerance of gays. After all, an actual gay man actually served in his administration when he was Massachusetts governor.
"What you look for in a leader is someone who will welcome and treat with respect people who made different choices and have different beliefs in their lives and have differences. I have nothing but respect and feelings of tolerance for people with differences from myself and feel that way with regards to those who are gay," he said before a crowd of 400 at a campaign event, according to the Associated Press.
Gee, that meakes me feel so warm and fuzzy. So...tolerated!
"I oppose discrimination against gay people," he added, with a straight face. "I am not antigay. I know there are some Republicans, or some people in the country, who are looking for someone who is antigay, and that's not me."
Romney said he is opposed to marriage equality for same-sex couples because it's not in the best interest of children. Children like the son born to Mary Cheney and her female partner this week I suppose.
Who knows how this man really feels because he changes so often, depending on which way the political winds are blowing. But no matter what he SAYS, here are his ACTIONS: In 2003, after the Massachusetts supreme judicial court ruled that same-sex couples could wed in the state, Romney pushed for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
Sounds like anti-gay to me!
