Romney says he’s not anti-gay
By Associated Press
Thursday, May 24, 2007 - Updated: 04:49 PM EST

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Thursday that his opposition to same-sex marriage should not be interpreted as intolerance of gays, who served in his administration when he was Massachusetts governor.

<snip>

Romney’s record on gay rights has drawn scrutiny - and criticism that he changes with the political winds. In a 1994 bid against Sen. Edward Kennedy, Romney argued that he would be a better champion of gay rights than the Democrat. 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 gay marriage.

On Thursday, after talking to about 400 people at a downtown library, he said that doesn’t mean he is intolerant.

<snip>

He noted that one of his Cabinet members was gay and that he appointed gays to positions of responsibility in his administration.

"I oppose discrimination against gay people," Romney said. "I am not anti-gay. I know there are some Republicans, or some people in the country who
are looking for someone who is anti-gay and that’s not me."

He said he is opposed to gay marriage because it’s not in the best interest of children.

2. F you, Mitt.
Take a look at the kids George and Barbara Bush turned out.

Liars. Hypocrites. Thieves. Murderers.

Being straight isn't a guarantee that the kids are going to be brought up properly, and I can't recall the last time I heard about a gay parent killing/torturing/abusing their children, yet I do hear about straight people doing all those things to their kids.

Seems to me your thought processes are a bit F'd up.
