Romney Comments on Gays in Military During Phoenix Stop

The controversy over gays in the military enters the presidential race.

During a stop in Phoenix, Mitt Romeny told KTAR that General Peter Pace was wrong to call homosexuals "immoral."

"I think he was wise to correct his comment and to suggest that was an inappropriate point to make," said Romney.

The former Republican governor of Massachusetts also said he supports the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy on gays.

"I believe the current policy has proven to be effective. And I would not propose a change in the current policy at this time. We're in the middle of a conflict and the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy which I didn't think made a lot of sense of when I first heard about it has obviously served us well."
