Homo-journos have been on Mitt Romney like flies on shit (if there's a more appropriate analogy, we haven't heard it).

As you may know, the legendarily anti-gay politician's been gearing up for a presidential bid. In recent weeks, however, a number of letters, speeches and statements have surfaced in which Romney promises to help gay people. Pretty inconvenient for a man who's courting the religious right, huh? While we get a kick out of his politically-motivated fluctuations, his conservative homies are not amused.

The New York Sun reports:

A top member of the Southern Baptist Convention, Richard Land... said yesterday, "Christians believe in conversion, and so they're open to listen, but when a candidate 12 years ago says he is more of a champion on these issues than Ted Kennedy, that needs to be explained."
