Gay Romney Spokesperson Forced to Resign 
-----------------------------------------


 
A spokesperson for Republican frontrunner Mitt Romney has resigned after
opposition from far-right religious groups over his gay sexual
orientation. Richard Grenell was hired just last month, sparking
immediate calls from evangelical groups for his dismissal. In a
statement, the group People for the American Way said: "If Romney will
cave to the far-right fringe on this, is there anything he won’t give
them when they ask?"
