In an article recently released by Boston Spirit, one David Wilson shed some light on Mitt Romney's thoughts, feelings and interactions with the gay community.
As Massachusetts Governor in 2004, Romney spoke out in favor of banning same-sex marriage in the state, going so far as endorsing a constitutional amendment which would do just that.
In interacting with then Governor Romney and attempting to plead his case against the amendment, Wilson reflected on the experience, saying, "It was like talking to a robot. No expression, no feeling. People were sharing touching stories, stories where you'd expect recognition in the other person's face that they at least hear what you're saying -- that there's empathy. He didn't even shake his head. He was completely blank."
According to Wilson, Romney did utter a few words, as he said, "I didn't know you had families."
The lead plaintiff in the case - Julie Goodridge - was concerned about what she'd tell her adopted daughter if she and her partner's marriage were overturned.
According to Goodridge, Romney responded with, "I don't really care what you tell your adopted daughter. Why don't you just tell her what you've been telling her for the last eight years?"
I have a feeling these alleged quotes could make for great bumper stickers:
"You have families?" - Mitt Romney. Vote Romney - he listens...or something...
"I don't care what you tell your daughter!" - Mitt Romney. Vote Romney - he cares...about stuff...
I can even hear Romney doing the following ad:
"Do you have a family? Think I care? I don't care about your stinking family! Have a daughter? A son? Two dogs, a chicken and an emu named Elmer? Think I give a s**t (bleep)? No. What the f**k (bleep) do I care? Have a family? Good for you. Want a cookie? No - you're probably just a dependent liberal and want me to give you a car, right? That's what I thought! So, yeah - have a family? I really couldn't give two s**ts (bleep). Hell, I couldn't even give one s**t (bleep). I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message."
