Romney claimed to be opposed to the idea of [[same-sex "marriage"]], however, he has voiced explicit support for the [[homosexual agenda]]. He has advocated for domestic partnership benefits and equal rights for [[homosexuals]], which is gay marriage in everything but name and an easy stepping stone on the vile gay agenda path towards homosexual recruitment.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20021218005104/www.romneyhealey.com/issues/3</ref>  He also supports adoption for gay couples.<ref>https://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57432292-503544/romney-says-hes-fine-with-gay-couples-adopting-children/</ref>
