Romney: Gay Couples Should Be Able To Adopt, But Not Marry [View all]
On Fox News Thursday, Mitt Romney restated his view that same-sex couples should not be allowed to marry, but should be allowed to raise children together.
“I happen to believe that the best setting for raising a child is where this is the opportunity to a mom and a dad to be in the home. There are many circumstances where that is not possible. Through death. Divorce,” he said. “I know many gay couples are able to adopt children. That is fine. But my preference is we encourage the marriage of a man and a woman and we continue to define marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman.”
