Two days before that, he said that "two people of the same gender who love each other" should be able to adopt children. He didn't say two gay or homosexual people...."two of the same gender who love each other." Is that what's known as hewing to the conservative base? Or has he changed again, done another flip-flop in four weeks' time?

It wouldn't be so bad if he wasn't a Republican. Calling a spade a spade: when he says gay men should be able to adopt children, what that actually entails is punishing adoption agencies who would refuse to relinquish the children entrusted to them for that; it would punish landlords who said, "I'm not renting to you guys. Go somewhere else to play Ward & June Cleaver in drag."

The punch line: Romney stated also that he was against gay marriage. So it's okay to force folks to let them adopt kids and live in our communities, but not okay to let them get married.

Voting for Romney is just ... nuts.

LOL, I would really love to see someone stand up at one of his campaign stops and say, "Governor Romney, you said that gays should not be able to marry, and yet you believe they should be able to adopt children. Can you explain the logic in your reasoning?"

I guess Romney doesn't care that he would be sentencing kids to a life of being "pets" to a couple of deviants, who could very well end up pimping them out for sex.
