Romney: Will take a long time to gauge impact of same-sex marriage

Former Gov. Mitt Romney said Sunday if gay couples want to live together, then “that’s their right,” but he still feels marriage should be defined as a relationship between a man and woman.
“And I think the ideal setting for raising a child is in a setting where there’s a father and a mother,” Mr. Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “Now, there are many other different settings that children are raised in, and people have the right to live their life as they want to. But I think marriage should be defined in the way that it’s been defined for several thousand years.”
NBC’s David Gregory noted that Massachusetts paved the way for same-sex marriage in earnest while Mr. Romney was governor, despite his objections. Now, 17 states and the District of Columbia allow it.
At the time, Mr. Romney said the change would have “a lasting impact” on society. On Sunday, he acknowledged it will take a long time to see what happens.
“It’s something which happens over generations, in fact,” he said. “And again, I think the ideal setting is where there’s a mom and a dad that can invest their time and their resources in supporting the development of a child.”
He said the issue is important to many Americans, but shouldn’t be framed in terms of political winners and losers.
“I think you stand for various principles. You communicate those to the American people, and they either support those or not,” he said. “Sometimes, if something is lost, well, you move on to the next issue. You wish you’d have won that one, but you move on.”

Romney had the chance to put the brakes on the perverts when he was Governor and he didn't even try.

What the impact is going to be isn't good. I know a gay guy (won't call him a friend - an acquaintance) what he posts on FB grosses me out... he lives in California and was one of those who fought for gay marriage there - well he and his partner of 30 years did marry and in less than a year they broke up (after 30 years) and are now "getting a divorce"........ oh and I know at one point they were actually advertising on Yahoo personals for another gay couple to do foursomes with them....... in many cases it isn't just a matter of being gay - they really get into some of the most debauched things imaginable.

When one defines their entire existence based solely on who they have sex with, nothing good can ever come of it.

That's the sad thing about people who mistake what they do for who they are.

Yep.........

And it's why one cannot explain to them that moral disapproval is not hate. Because we do not give them approval of their actions, it means we hate them. They cannot grasp the "love the sinner, hate the sin" concept.

Exactly.

Good point.
They define themselves by what they do (the sin), so it is impossible for them to understand how we can disapprove of what they do and still love them.
