Adviser Reaffirms Romney Support For Anti-Gay Marriage Amendment

[DonViejo]

After telling reporters that Mitt Romney supports leaving the issue of marriage up to the states, adviser Bay Buchanan walked back her remarks, and reaffirmed that the GOP presidential nominee supports a constitutional ban on gay marriage.

"Governor Romney supports a federal marriage amendment to the Constitution that defines marriage as an institution between a man and a woman," Buchanan told BuzzFeed. "Governor Romney also believes, consistent with the 10th Amendment, that it should be left to states to decide whether to grant same-sex couples certain benefits, such as hospital visitation rights and the ability to adopt children. I referred to the Tenth Amendment only when speaking about these kinds of benefits – not marriage."

2. That's like sooooo 2004 *smacks bubblegum*

You might think Romney would be uncomfortable telling people what defines a marriage considering his family's past.

Then again, I have yet to see this man demonstrate that he has a core that can't be modified to suit the situation.
