This is why Obama needs to focus his advertisements on LGBT people. There's already a good chance a lot of LGBT votes will be for Obama, all he needs to do is point out Romney's past. Romney and friends once cut a gay boy's hair (in highschool) because they thought it was too feminine.
Year's later, his friends made honest apologies, but all he said (and I'm summaraizing) was that he was sorry, but he was a kid at the time. Instead of an honest apology, he just used an excuse. And, as other people have said, he's stated his opposition of same-sex marriage time and time again.
If Romney were to win, LGBT rights might head into the dark ages.
Short answer, my magic 8-ball is broken, so I don't know. Romney was governor of MA when they legalized equal marriage rights. What did he do?
Nothing. He may have disagreed with it, but he respected the verdict of the courts. Was there a Prop 8 in MA?
NO. Romney has the same stance Obama had towards gay marriage when he was elected. Both said "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman".
Honestly, DOMA will be repealed and Romney can't really do anything about it. " In November 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled that the Massachusetts State Constitution requires that same-sex marriage be permitted under law; in response this time, Governor Romney supported a state constitutional amendment to forbid such marriages." -They tried to make it civil unions (the courts would have found any ban unconstitutional), but the court said anything short of equal marriage rights would not be acceptable. It wasn't voted on or even tabled.
Honestly, most of the "damning" stuff you posted makes him seem more moderate than most in the GOP. "That aside, I'm in the UK so his politics don't affect me. There's a lot I dislike about this country but at least LGBT's are treated equally" -In the state he was governor of we have full marriage rights, not civil unions, not domestic partnerships like you do in the UK.
We are treated equally in MA. Honestly, he's not as "evil" as you seem to think he is. A Dem gave us DOMA and DADT.
"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 . ." -LOL, which is politician speak for I DID NOTHING "If Romney were to win, LGBT rights might head into the dark ages." -LOL, No.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
