| Description | A leading conservative group, which has been in discussion with the Romney administration, is readying a push for an outright ban on same-sex marriage in Massachusetts.
The move could significantly alter the debate on Beacon Hill over same-sex unions this year and undercut support for a compromise measure approved by the Legislature last year that outlawed gay marriage but established civil unions.
Mineau said he and his group are adamantly opposed to creating a civil unions system for gay couples. ''We've got a new strategy to deal with the situation," he said.
Romney's record of backing the current amendment has opened him up to attacks from social conservatives. During political trips this year, he has emphasized his opposition to both civil unions and same-sex marriage, drawing criticism from Democrats who say he is reinventing himself as a conservative to run for president. |
