Vietnam War veteran, Bob Garon, talking with Mitt Romney in New Hampshire about gays in the military. Romney supports the Defense of Marriage Act. Garon recently married his partner of 15 years, Bob Lemire after New Hampshire made same sex marriage legal, which the Republican-controlled State legislature is working to repeal.
When Romney sat down next to Garon, the Epson resident asked him, “If two men get married, apparently a veteran’s spouse would not be entitled to any burial benefits or medical benefits or anything that the serviceman has devoted his time and effort to his country, and you just don’t support equality in terms of same-sex marriage?”
