When Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made a campaign stop at New Hampshire's Concord High School this week, he was confronted by a woman named Cynthia Fish, a lesbian who has two children who took issue with Romney's view that marriage is "primarily an institution for the development and nurture of children," according to a report in the Concord Monitor.
Romney said he would not prevent gay couples from entering spousal contracts if they choose to live together but 'the government benefits of marriage I'd reserve for a man and a woman.'"
Fish said to him: "I am a gay woman and I have children. Your comment that you just made, it sort of invalidates my family...I wish you could explain to me more, why if we are sending our troops over to fight for liberty and justice for all throughout this country, why not for me? Why not for my family?"
Romney responded with this: "Wonderful. I'm delighted that you have a family and you're happy with your family. That's the American way. ... People can live their lives as they choose and children can be a great source of joy, as you know. And I welcome that...Marriage is an institution which is designed to bring a man and woman together to raise a child and that the ideal setting for society at large is where there is a male and a female are associated with the development and nurturing a child...There are other ways to raise kids that's fine: single moms, grandparents raising kids, gay couples raising kids. That's the American way, to have people have their freedom of choice."
The Monitor also reports Romney as saying: "That's not to say these other forms aren't valid. But, for instance, we don't say a single person is married, even if they are raising children," Romney said. "I believe, in society, we want to bring a man and woman together."

Well, isn't that special, Mitt? I believe, in society, we should wake up and smell the coffee and realize that not all people want to be with someone of the opposite sex.
