Romney rejected new birth certificates for gay parents

MrsGoodkat

while governor.

?Some gays are actually having children born to them,?? he declared. ?It?s not right on paper. It?s not right in fact. Every child has a right to a mother and father.?? (South Carolina, 2005)

Soooooo not going there. Every poster would say, "tl:dr" in response to my post.

No worries.  He's probably changed his mind on that one, too.

Pfft

I would read your response.

Only if he's speaking to a moderate crowd. Super conservative crowd would probably hear the same words come out of his mouth.

I might not agree with your response but I will read.

Was it Santorum who had the idiotic line about how a child was better off with a parent in prison than with two gay parents at home?

I'm assuming you would be defending Romney? So yeah, I'm very interested to hear how this could be defended in any way.

Every child has a right to a mother and father?  What an outdated, ridiculous view.  When will people realize that ignoring same-sex couples won't make them go away?  People like Romney it just causes undue hardship to loving families.

Yes, to a group of students that included kids who have gay parents.

I've been told on more than one occasion that the reason I grew up to be normal (their word) is because my mom re-married and I spent half my time in a household with male/female parents. Apparently, had I lived 100% of the time with my dad and his partner I would have been doomed.

That makes me sick. There are surely many gay couples who would make infinitely better parents than some of the pieces of shitt I've seen procreating and treating their kids like garbage.

I read this today and it actually brought me to tears. Mittens is an insensitive a*s for what he said to the woman.
