Rightardia got a whiff of this on Washington Whispers. Mittens wants a constitutional amendment on marriage that has three tiers.
- it will retain marriage rights for straight people.
- allow gays who are married to continue to be married
- not allow any more gays to marry
Third, you've got to be kidding!
What happened to the state's right view of the GOP? Clearly marriage is one of those rights reserved to the states.
This is the dopiest constitutional amendment Rightardia has ever heard off.
The Log Cabin republicans Executive Director, R. Clarke Cooper, wrote this in a press release rejecting the Romney constitutional amendment:
Governor Romney is contorting himself into a pretzel trying to avoid the simplest solution to a purely political problem. The best way to strengthen all families is to grant equal access to civil marriage for all couples regardless of their orientation.
Governor Romney's proposal to create a stratified system is a recipe for legal chaos. It is an offense to the rights of states like New Hampshire that have chosen to legalize marriage equality, and would, for the first time since the Civil War, enshrine second class citizenship in the American Constitution. On the state level, California is already struggling to deal with the fallout of multiple classes of marriage rights imposed by Proposition 8, proving that this system simply doesn't work. Log Cabin Republicans appreciate the governor's efforts to find middle ground, but this is not an acceptable solution.
Rightardia also thinks a constitutional amendment should provide new rights, not proscrbe the right to marry.

Did you see Mitt last night claim he's not for discrimination against gays by saying he discriminates against gays? Mitt Romney's a funny guy, both of them.
