Whether the true conservatives like it or not, there are people who are pro-choice and/or gay that stand with the Republicans on other issues that are important to them.
Does the Republican Party need to parade them on the platform because of this? - - - NO! , but no need to chase them away either.
Come on, Laura Bush has said she doesn't want to see Roe v. Wade overturned and Lynne Cheney stands up for her lesbian daughter - - - Republicans aren't going to chase them out of the party.
Geez, this may seem crude, but I know a pro-life woman who said she may change her stance on that issue if it is ever proven that being gay is genetic and can be detected early in pregnancy.
Then they are advised to focus on the issues with which they share common ground rather than expecting the whole party to cater to their fringe interests.
