During his time as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt decided that spite was the best way to approach same-sex marriage.
He likes to hide behind a smokescreen of political promises, but history has shown that Mitt Romney has no love of rights when it comes to the LGBT community. When, in 2003, the state of Massachusetts decided to legalize gay marriage, Romney put his nose into the business and made attempts to screw things up bureaucratically.
Since same-sex couples could now have children, there needed to be a slight change in birth certificates. Instead of listing the “father” of the child, the initial proposal was to list the “father or second parent”. Romney, governor at the time, felt that this was attacking his religious values, however, and instead implemented a complicated process that proved to be little more than harassment.
