Do you believe that gays should be able to serve openly in the military
Governor Romney, the mayor referred to the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, which was implemented during the Clinton administration, after Bill Clinton became president.
In 1994 you were quoted as saying that you advocated gays being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. The question to you is, do you still feel that way?
MR. ROMNEY: No, actually, when I first heard of the “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, I thought it sounded awfully silly. I didn’t think that would be very effective. And I turned out to be wrong. It’s been the policy now in the military for what, 10, 15 years, and it seems to be working. And I agree with what Mayor Giuliani said: that this is not the time to put in place a major change, a social experiment, in the middle of a war going on. I wouldn’t change it at this point. We can look at down the road.
But it does seem to me that we have much bigger issues as a nation we ought to be talking about than that policy right now.
