Mitt Romney Accidentally Confronts A Gay Veteran

Back in December 2011 during a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Mitt Romney decided to drop by Vietnam War veteran Bob Garon's breakfast table for a quick photo-op. What Romney didn't realize is that Garon was sitting with his husband, whom he had married just a few months earlier.

What followed might be the single greatest "oblivious Romney" moment of the entire campaign. Enjoy.

No matter if you support gay marriage or just som sort of registred partnership I think if you are two adults sharing a household you should get the same benefits disregarding gender.

Does this really matter? They don't call it a "marriage penalty" for nothing.

Marriage penalty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

FWIW... I really don't care if people want to marry a shoe!

Personally, I don't think anyone should get extra benefits simply because they're married. Thats inequality.
