Newt Gingrich Changes Views on Gay-Marriage, Says 'Deal with Reality'

The former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, who seldom shies away from voicing his opinion, told the Huffington Post that reason for the loss of Republican Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, were his "stale" perspectives and arguments on issues such as immigration and same-sex marriage.

Gingrich, recently, voiced his opinion on the subject of gay-marriage, when he appeared at the Chik fil-a rally to preserve "sacred bond" of traditional marriage between a man and woman. But although Gingrich says his view on marriage has not changed, the possibility that same-sex marriage will likely be a legal reality in this nation is "inevitable," and members from the Republican simply must "deal with reality," as reported in the Huffington Post.

"The reality is going to be that in a number of American states - and it will be more after 2014 - gay relationships will be legal, period," as reported in the Examiner.

It is important to note, that the politician's 46-year-old sister Candice Gingrich-Jones is gay, and is currently married to her partner.

Gingrich also said that the former Massachusetts governor, Romney, was a bad poor choice for their party to run against President Obama in the November elections.

"I think either Texas Gov. Rick Perry or I would have probably done better against Obama...If Obama had pounded on my weaknesses as intensely as Romney, who knows what would have happened. So I don't want to be arrogant and say I would have done better," said Gingrich. "I would say my impression is that, from the Obama team's standpoint, the two candidates they found the hardest to cope with were Perry and me," as reported in the Huffington Post.

Gingrich has voiced his opinions on his official website Newt 2012, that can be found by clicking here.
