WASHINGTON – Hard on the heels of Rick Santorum suspending his presidential campaign The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) has announced its endorsement of Mitt Romney for president. NOM said it was making the endorsement to help focus social conservatives on the need to defeat President Obama in November.
“We are proud to endorse Mitt Romney for president,” said Brian Brown, NOM’s president. “Gov. Romney was an early signer of NOM’s presidential pledge which represents his commitment to the nation to take specific actions as president to preserve and protect marriage as the union of one man and one woman.”
On signing NOM’s anti-gay “marriage pledge” Romney promised, if elected, to set up a presidential commission to “investigate” gay Americans for alleged harassment and intimidation.
“The more we learn about Romney’s close ties to NOM, the more anti-gay he looks – and is,” said HRC President Joe Solmonese. “You can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps, and who his maxed out donors are.”
