Mitt Romney Seen As 'Too Gay Tolerant' For GOP Right

He opposes gay marriage, refuses to allow out-of-state same-sex couples wed, and supports amending the state constitution to bar gay nuptials, but for many in the the right wing of the Republican Party Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney still is too tolerant of gays and lesbians to get their support for a presidential bid.

They point to a 17 year old Massachusetts law that allows governors to issue one-day certificates to officiate at weddings. Romney has been granting dozens of those certificates to people who want to perform same-sex weddings for friends and relatives.

The certificates cost $25. The Boston Globe reports that last year Romney approved 189 requests for special certificates used by people who performed same-sex marriages.

Conservative Republicans, the base of the party, say Romney is pandering to gays and it could cost him the party's nomination for President.


what do these people want--Romney to start rounding up gays and putting them into concentration camps--silly me OF COURSE THEY DO!
