hese two better watch out or they are going to be ejected from the 2012 GOP Clown Car. The below may seem like small slips in the overall picture re: LGBT issues, but remember — the campaign to reach the primary finish line fraught with religious right hurdles, and the fringe has a zero-tolerance policy on any statement that remotely smacks of pro-equality.

In a “candidate series” interview with the Nashua (NH) Telegraph editorial board last Tuesday, Mittens lived up to his flip-flopping reputation throughout the discussion. What was noteworthy this time is that he makes news by stating he supports “gay rights” in the form of employment non-discrimination. By being specific on this, he’s wide open for the fringe right wing

'Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney says he hasn’t changed in the years since he lost the 2008 New Hampshire primary. Instead, he said Monday in a meeting with The Telegraph editorial board that it’s the political conversation that has shifted – a move that has benefited his campaign.

…Asked about the accusations of flip-flops, Romney said he has stayed consistent on the issue of same-sex marriage. “I don’t believe in discriminating in employment or opportunity for gay individuals. So I favor gay rights. I do not favor gay marriage,” he said.'

1. I've seen Romney's slip

It is pretty dull. Then again I'm rather glad he's got so much coverage--and I'd be saying that even if I weren't a lesbian.
