More than a dozen Senate lawmakers, including three Republicans, are backing a proposed budget amendment that would create a new state commission on gay and lesbian youth out of the reach of Gov. Mitt Romney.


Romney angered many gay rights activists and lawmakers when he flirted with the idea earlier this month of abolishing the 14-year-old commission, the first of its kind in the nation, after a press release announcing a youth gay pride march was issued without the administration's blessing.


Instead of killing the commission Romney ordered it to refocus on its core mission of suicide prevention.


Romney's decision to keep the commission drew fire from its critics, who charged he had caved in to pressure from gay rights activists.

2. Mass. Senate moves to Keep gay kids out of Romney's mitts

That's the headline I would have written (If I worked for the NY Post).

Or perhaps, "Mass. Senate takes gay youths away from Romney"

Or..

"Senate tells Romney he can't touch gay youths."
