Mitt Keeping It Real on Marriage

Here’s Mitt actually defending his stand on marriage:

“I believe that marriage has been defined the same way for literally thousands of years by virtually every civilization in history and that marriage is by its definition a relationship between a man and woman and if two people of the same gender want to live together, want to have a loving relationship, even want to adopt a child in my state, individuals of the same sex are able to adopt children,” Romney continued. “In my view, that’s something which people have the right to do, but to call that marriage is, in my view, a departure from the real meaning of the word.”

. . . explaining, of course, why his defense of “the real meaning of the word” is ompatible with the reality of the rights gay individuals possess. So my criticism of his preferential option below was misleading or not based on everything he’s been saying.
