Mitt Romney & Gay Marriage
“Expressed support for a constitutional amendment that could create a complex three-tier system of marriage — maintaining marriage rights for straight couples, allowing gays who have already married to remain married, but barring future same-sex marriages.
‘I think it would keep intact those marriages which had occurred under the law but maintain future plans based on marriage being between a man and a woman,’ Romney said.”
(It’s already been remarked elsewhere (as in the comments for this link) that his “three tiered system” emulates that which Mormons have as a construct for heaven.)
