Is Mitt Romney being realistic when he says marriage is between a man and woman and that is the way it should be and always has been?

Answer 1

yeah,that,s how God intended it to be!

Another opinion:

Using the argument, "This is the way it's always been, and so this is the way it should always be," is an illogical argument. Just because things were done a certain way in the past is NOT a real reason to continue those things. In the past mothers put their babies to sleep on their stomachs, but scientific evidence has shown that this practice leads to higher rates of SIDS. So, now, mothers are encouraged to put their babies to sleep on their backs. Good thing! In the past, if a person showed signs of mental illness, a drill was taken to their skull to let the "bad spirits" out. Things change. Society changes. Marriage is a legal thing that has to go through a court licensing process to be recognized by the government. Then, many people have their religious ceremonies to celebrate the union. The government has no control over the religious aspect of marriage, as our government takes the stance of a separation of church and state. Whether you are a pagan, a Christian, or whatever, you can become married. So, God's opinion on marriage should not play into what the United States of America (or it's individual states) decides concerning marriage.

Answer 2

No. When he expresses his personal belief about same-sex marriage, Mitt Romney is opposing the basic civil rights of Americans, as determined by the United States Supreme Court.
