Romney actively opposed a decision by the state's Supreme Judicial Court to permit same-sex marriages. he is an ouspoken believer of a federal constitutional amendment to rid of gay marriage. He believes that marriage should be only between a man and a woman, and "all children deserve a //mother// and //father//. Earlier in his political profession, Romeny supported benefits for gay and lesbians and promised to work on behalf of their community. He said that states should be allowed to decide whether to allow same-sex marriage.

//"My view on marriage has been entirely consistent over my political career. And that is that I oppose same-sex marriage. I also oppose civil unions ever since same-sex marriage became a prominent feature in my state, with the decision of the Supreme Judicial Court, I have taken every action that I could conceive of within the bounds of the law to defend traditional marriage and to stop same-sex marriage. I’ve been to Washington to testify in favor of traditional marriage."//
