So he more or less said, I think you should be able to marry, but I'm not going to help your cause.
Dick Morris had a good assessment of this whole thing, he hurt himself with those who are anti gay marriage (60%), and didn't help himself with the gay community because he's not going to do anything anyhow and he already had their support because Romney is clearly against them.

So what's the point in saying this, it only hurts him...
