If homosexuals vote Republican this year it will not be because the GOP nominee has conservative principles. Beyond a thin gloss of campaign rhetoric, he doesn't. It will be because of his long and effective record of advancing the radical homosexual agenda, and his continued affinity with them.
But there is no place in the platform for an affirmation of their perversions.
Republican "leaders" don't pay the platform any mind anyhow, no matter what it says.
Remember how in 08 the GOP made a lot of noise about including a strong border control stance in the platform right before they nominated John McCain. LOL
Since the 2000 election, Republicans have made steady inroads in earning votes among self-identified homosexuals. That includes 2004 when W ran on the marriage amendment and the Tea Party's turnout in 2010.
That's OK, though, you don't want their votes as they're not good enough to be on your side.
