Mitt Romney supports constitutional amendment to both allow AND ban gay marriage

Via Hunter at DailyKos:

[Romney] Expressed support for a constitutional amendment that could create a complex three-tier system of marriage — maintaining marriage rights for straight couples, allowing gays who have already married to remain married, but barring future same-sex marriages.
“I think it would keep intact those marriages which had occurred under the law but maintain future plans based on marriage being between a man and a woman,” Romney said.

Both-Ways Mitt strikes again. Gay marriage is somehow threatening the "marriage rights" of straight couples, which need to be protected. But at the same time, he'll let already-married gay Americans stay married, which seems an odd thing to do if you're worried about gay people destroying the institution. Translation: Well golly, can't we just have it both ways? Let's just say that these current gay Americans should be safe from discrimination, but I promise we'll reintroduce discrimination against everybody else.
