Mitt Romney has evolved from saying he was to the left of Ted Kennedy on gay rights issues when he ran for the senate in 1994, to being governor of the first state in the country to allow same-sex marriage, to now being opposed to same-sex marriage and civil unions. Romney has promised to propose an amendment to the constitution allowing marriage to only be between one man and one woman, which would in effect negate all the legal marriages that have taken place since he was governor in 2004.
