developing story: Romney slams Dems over LGBTQ famililes - Family Pride responds
David on Sep 27th 2007
As many of you may know, during last night’s Democratic presidential debate, a question was asked about LGBTQ families. The question was:
The issues surrounding gay rights have been hotly debated here in New England. For example, last year some parents of second graders in Lexington, Massachusetts, were outraged to learn their children’s teacher had read a story about same-sex marriage, about a prince who marries another prince.
Same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts, but most of you oppose it. Would you be comfortable having this story read to your children as part of their school curriculum?
Then, today, Republican candidate Mitt Romney slammed the Democrats in a press release on his website:
Last night’s debate was just the latest example of how out of touch the Democratic presidential candidates are with the American people. Not one candidate was uncomfortable with young children learning about same-sex marriage in the second grade. This is a subject that should be left to parents, not public school teachers. We need to strengthen our families by passing a federal marriage amendment and also insisting on marriage before having children. Change in Washington requires Democrats with the courage to stand-up to their ultra liberal base and do what’s right for our children.
Family Pride is monitoring these developments and putting together a plan of action to educate the candidates and media. As we put together our plan, give us feedback through our comments. We want to know your thoughts.
We will keep you posted as the developments unfold.

“and also insisting on marriage before having children.”
Wow. Talk about being out of touch with the American people. But he sure got the soundbyte he was going for.
Hi guys!
“and also insisting on marriage before having children.”
OK - Let’s work out the practical details of Mitt’s proposal. As I see it we either 1) when we find out a woman is pregnant - even a 13 year old girl-,we track the father down and take them to the altar at gunpoint or 2) force her to have an abortion (hey, it works in China!).
Keep tracking this story. It says volumes about the right.
