Romney Speaks Out against Marriage Equality in Remarks at Anti-Gay Liberty University
May 12, 2012 by Dan Rafter, Online Campaigns Manager
Mitt Romney reiterated his opposition marriage equality for same-sex couples again this morning while delivering commencement remarks at Liberty University, an anti-gay school that bans openly LGBT students from attending. Romney made his remarks just days after President Obama announced his historic support for marriage equality. A USA Today/Gallup poll released yesterday shows that a majority of Americans – and an even stronger majority of independent voters – approve of the President’s position on marriage equality.
Among those honored at Liberty’s commencement this morning was S. Truett Cathy, founder of the fast-food chain Chick-fil- A, which has made significant financial contributions to anti-LGBT organizations. Romney made his remarks hours after Rick Santorum called on the GOP nominee to use marriage equality as a “potent weapon” in his campaign.
