My LGBT Blogger Summit friend Jeremy Hooper is having a running debate with short term Romney adviser Richard Grenell who was driven to resign in the face of the Christofascists' conniption fit over Romney naming an openly gay man and a same sex marriage advocate as an adviser. Grenell is trying to equate Barack Obama's positions on gay rights and gay marriage as being synonymous. One can only wonder what kind of head trauma Grenell has suffered. At a minimum he's forgotten that the Mitt signed on to NOM's infamous anti-gay declaration shown in the image above.
And then there's this inconvenient statement on Mitt Romney's presidential campaign site:
Marriage is more than a personally rewarding social custom. It is also critical for the well-being of a civilization. That is why it is so important to preserve traditional marriage – the joining together of one man and one woman. As president, Mitt will not only appoint an Attorney General who will defend the Defense of Marriage Act – a bipartisan law passed by Congress and signed by President Clinton – but he will also champion a Federal Marriage Amendment to the Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman.
In contrast, the Obama administration has declared the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and called for its repeal. Then there's Obama's personal endorsement of same sex marriage. In short, I ask again: what kind of head trauma has Richard Grenell suffered if he thinks the two men have the same position on LGBT rights?
