Boston Spirit magazine has dug a bit deeper into Mitt Romney’s past interactions with LGBT people, particularly during his time as governor. Many of these stories are known: his firing of two state employees ostensibly for marrying their same-sex partners, his dissolution of the Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, his blocking of an anti-bullying guide because it contained the words “bisexual” and “transgender,” and his testimony against marriage equality to the Senate Judiciary Committee after the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ruled the state’s ban was unconstitutional. But this new profile illustrates a more profound level of insensitivity to the experience of LGBT people than his past position statements suggest.
David Wilson and Julie Goodridge, two of the plaintiffs whose case led to the legalization of marriage equality in Massachusetts, described meeting with Romney to discuss their experiences. According to Wilson, “it was like talking to a robot. No expression, no feeling.” At one point, Romney remarked, “I didn’t know you had families.” Goodridge recalls her final exchange with the governor, which proved to her that he had “no capacity for empathy”:
If he gets elected president I see a terrible future for America
Mitt and most of the current Republians need a seat.
I can't even believe some people in the tea party would OPENLY DENY that Separation of Church and state even exists.
And,yes Gays can raise families. (adoptions,artificial insemination,in vitro fertilization,and foster cae do exist,you know.)
If some people would QUIT with the delusion and LIES,and actually WATCHED how someone raised by Gay parents would turn out,then they would see that it really isn't all that different with LGBT marriage.
