If he could gain two hundred votes by selling each of his boys into prostitution, I doubt if Mitt wouldn’t think twice – he has no morals when it comes to looking “votable”. So he is hammered for being anti-gay, it is only appropriate to hired a LGBT-community member to a post in his campaign.

But judge Romney on his anti=gay actions – especially when it comes to same-sex marriage, and his desire to outlaw all same-sex marriages nationwide – because he is a Mormon, and Mormons don’t approve of same-sex marriages.

Romney did the same with abortion when running for Senate; as a Mormon Pro-Life candidate, not enough votes – so Utah approved his plan to pretend to be Pro-Choice to attract more voters through “fraud.”

So Romney is, and will forever be, an enemy of the LGBT community.

Check out what Mr. Grenell has had to say on Twitter. Stunning that just days after feigning outrage about Hillary Rosen’s comments, Romney’s campaign would hire someone with this long paper trail of sexist tweets. [URL REMOVED]

Romney being an “equal opportunity employer” is nothing new. However, let’s not make this more than it is. He hired Grenell as a “spokesperson.” It’s not like he was invited to be a part of Romney’s inner circle or God forbid transition team. Based on Rick’s CV, he was a well qualified candidate and Romney has no qualms of doing or saying what it takes to get elected.

However, what Grenell should be called to account for is how his working to elect Romney differs from what he boldly accused others of in his March Blade Op-ed noted in the article above.

One might suggest that he is being “loyal to [his] party at the expense of the movement. Even if “it’s politically smart – if you want to further your career within the Party,” isn’t it a bit disingenuous to aspire to marry your partner of 9 years, then go to work for a man who has professed to derail your dream?

Integrity genderless. It has no sexual orientation.

And what does Grenell have to say about Romney’s position on gay marriage. He has evolved all to way to promising to push for a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage. Grenell is as hypocritical as he accuses Obama supporters of being.
