I specifically asked about Romney's plans on gays in the military before signing on to fundraise for him last December. His stance then, that has been consistent for years (and I don't see changing) is that he doesn't support any changes to the current policy of "don't ask, don't' tell." There are certainly some nuances to Romney's policy stands on gay rights but this is one he's been consistent on throughout his public life - I can find references back to 1994 where he says he supports that policy - and as 90% of his tweaking/flopping
has been more toward the right, I seriously doubt he's suddenly going to pull a Hilary on us.
