“Mitt Romney changes positions on
LGBT issues more often than he changes clothes,” said HRC President Joe
Solmonese. “It is mind boggling that someone can go from once saying he
would be more pro-gay than Ted Kennedy to signing a draconian pledge
sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage.”

HRC Launches New Site Showcasing Mitt Romney’s Constantly Changing Positions on LGBT Issues
Showcasing
Mitt Romney’s constantly changing positions on issues important to
lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans, the Human Rights
Campaign today launched a new website to educate voters about the former
Massachusetts Governor’s record. “Mitt ‘N Match” cleverly allows users
to see his various stances on open military service, workplace
non-discrimination and relationship recognition. The site is at www.MittNMatch.com.
On “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” the site
outlines his original opposition to the ban on gay servicemembers to his
statements supporting DADT. On workplace non-discrimination, he
promised to co-sponsor the Employment Non-Discrimination Act before
turning around and saying he opposed ENDA. And on relationship
recognition, he once indicated he supported domestic partnerships but as
a presidential candidate he’s signed on to the agenda of the National
Organization for Marriage. By aligning himself with NOM, Romney isn’t
just agreeing to support a federal marriage amendment and the
discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act – he’s even throwing his support
behind a McCarthy-like commission to investigate allegations of
“harassment” against NOM’s rabidly anti-LGBT supporters.
“Mitt Romney is someone that voters
just can’t trust,” said Solmonese. “The only thing clear about his
record is his willingness to say or do anything to get elected.”
