In the first response to the announcement by President Barack Obama that he favors same-sex marriage legislation in the United States, The Daily Telegraph newspaper reported that Republican rival in the presidential race Mitt Romney said that marriage is between "men and women."
Obama has risked angering Wednesday evening strongholds of American conservatives by announcing this. The U.S. President has no right to grant homosexuals the right to marry, which is determined by the States themselves, but puts a line announcing a sharp break with Romney, who supports the U.S. Constitution amendment to ban gay marriage altogether.
It was about 30 U.S. states had approved a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, including some states which are expected to witness an electoral struggle as powerful as Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin as well as North Carolina where he was supporting the ban in a vote Tuesday by 61% compared to 39%.
