I guess I’m now an oddity on this site, but I LIKE the government promoting marriage, and ONLY opposite-sex marriage, for I think that this the basis of a healthy and strong country...Oh well, perhaps there are other sites committed to family values...I shall look.

FR is supposed to be the premiere site for conservatism--fiscal AND social--but that doesn't mean all the posters agree with the owner. Issues like this are what drive me to (and away from) this site.

Sad that the Democrats can all unite & rally around their social values, but the Republican platform is just out there to placate the "religious rubes." They publicly say one thing, but privately believe another. But as we see on this thread, they're starting to get public with their true intentions. When will social conservatives get the message that their votes are wanted, but their opinions are not?

Oh, we got that message, and we’re the majority, but the single biggest mistake we, collectively, make, is trying to tolerate this crap, because these people will never stop pushing it on everyone.
