Last Thursday, the Boston Globe printed a report of how Mitt Romney blocked routine birth certificates for children of gay parents. Included was a quote from his speech to a conservative crowd where he bragged about this and denigrated LGBT families, calling them not right on paper, not right in fact.
A video has emerged of the speech, via Michelangelo Signorile at the Huffington Post.
Today, same-sex couples are marrying, under the law, in Massachusetts. Some gays are actually having children born to them. We've been asked to remove the phrase "mother" and "father" and replace it with "parent A" and "parent B." It's not right on paper. It's not right in fact. Every child has the right to have a mother and father.

another video clip Romney discusses the resistance of his department of public health to acknowledging LGBT parents before the Senate judiciary committee.
It's clear he's much more in his element discussing this than pretending to be Moderate Mitt that loves and respects everyone and professes to oppose discrimination.
