Under relentless fire from conservatives upset with him for some 10-year-old quotes in favor of gay rights, Mitt Romney has finally spoken out and clarified his position:

"Like the vast majority of Americans, I've opposed same-sex marriage, but I've also opposed unjust discrimination against anyone, for racial or religious reasons, or for sexual preference," Romney said in an interview with the National Review magazine published online Thursday.

Of course, this is unlikely to satisfy people on either side. It won't win him support from people who think opposition to gay marriage is unjust discrimination. And it won't make the right happy, either, because they don't think opposition to gay rights is unjust. But at least Romney's finally spoken out on the topic.
