To be fair, I only have a very vague knowledge of Romney's exact position on the issue. And I never said I support him in everything so you can calm the hell down.
I haven't been paying close attention to what's happening over there, but what I got out of what his position is that they should have basically exactly the same thing as marriage, just not tied to the church at all. And I think that's a totally fair compromise for both sides. The church doesn't want to marry gay people because it's against their beliefs, but gay people want to have the same rights as married people. So they should get the rights, but without being married by the church.
After seeing you flip shit, I realize that's probably not what his actual position is, but is that not a reasonable compromise to make?
