From an AP story about Massachusetts Gov. Romney's meeting with gay couples hoping to marry:
Some of the couples at the heart of the state’s landmark gay marriage case forced a meeting with Gov. Mitt Romney Friday [2/6], but in an emotionally charged discussion with the Republican governor, they failed to change his mind.
Romney, who backs a proposed constitutional amendment that would define marriage as a heterosexual institution, met privately for 20 minutes with six of the 14 plaintiffs [in the suit that led the state supreme court to say marriage must be opened to same sex couples], who later described the conversation for reporters.
One plaintiff, Julie Goodridge, cried as she recounted asking Romney what she was supposed to tell her 8-year-old daughter, who has been looking forward to a wedding between Goodridge and her partner, Hillary Goodridge. The governor responded that she should just keep telling her daughter the same thing she’s been telling her for the past eight years.
Mom to daughter: Remember I told you how the Governor wants to destroy our family, dear daughter? It's still true.
