Romney's Gay Confession: "I Am What I Am"

A friend writes:

Did you see Romney's big declaration today "I am what I am"?  Funny that the media has put a Popeye spin to it.  Were I Mr. Romney, I would be worried that more people heard "La Cage aux Folles" when they saw the headline.  Heaven knows, his -- and the Republican party's -- policies don't recognize other people's rights to be what they are.  Maybe someone should play the music for them????  :-)
La Cage Aux Folles - I Am What I Am Lyrics

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation

It's my world that I want to take a little pride in
My world and it's not a place I have to hide in
Life's not worth a damn
Till you can say, "Hey world, I am what I am"

I am what I am
I don't want praise, I don't want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it's noise, I think it's pretty

And so what, if I love each feather and each spangle
Why not try and see things from a different angle?
Your life is a sham till you can shout out loud
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the ace
Sometimes the deuces

There's one life
And there's no return and no deposit
One life, so it's time to open up your closet
Life's not worth a damn till you can say
"Hey world, I am what I am"
