What indication is there that the GOP is against gay marriage?
Tiptoeing?
They’ve been trying to force RNC committeeman Dave Agema to resign for the past 18 months for reminding people that support for traditional marriage is in the platform.
The tyranny of a very vocal and militant minority.
What happens when the tyranny of the gay fascists meets up with the tyranny of the Islamic fascists?
The Islamics are much more disciplined and better armed than the gays. And they already have a built-in bias against sharing power with gays.
Or anybody.
They’ll fold on this as they have with abortion; pay it lip service, but the abortuaries are running at full steam. The Republican party believes that social conservatives have nowhere else to go, even though 2012 showed they have the option of just staying home...Because the two parties are simply heads of the same hydra, that is acceptable to Republicans.
The Republicans can go to Hell. I’m a conservative.
WE have lost the gay marriage fight. I really think we should move on. I care more about our fiscal house and the ever oppressive government and land theft. The left WANTS us to keep talking about gays and about birth control because they are losing arguments and then they go and do what they are doing, which is taking over everything in their path. We cannot control the culture and the left has done a fine job of making gay marriage palpable for a large part of the Country. It is not the hill I think we want to die on. That is my opinion.
The GOP is THE party of RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE,
coverups, endless taxes, endless spending,
polygamy and gay marriage (the RomneyAgenda).
The GOP means GIVE.OBAMA.POWER.
Welcome to freerepublic, too bad about your political leanings.
Are you promoting the idea that the GOP should become “gay friendly”?
Anything else is a mockery of marriage, and marriage is the fundamental foundation of the family, and ultimately of society and culture.
Tinker with the foundations and it doesn't matter if the house is divided, it'll collapse.
Put my head in the sand? Nope. I just understand that queers abusing one another is not and never will be "marriage."
Where do you stand on the issue?

The problem with doing something just to fit in is that people get hurt if that something is dangerous.
We could just fit in on abortion...but babies will die.
We could just fit in on welfare...but people’s dreams will be ruined as their initiative is killed.
And we could just fit in on gay marriage...but the unnatural act of homosexual sex will still cause disease and mental disturbance and kill of homosexuals about 2 decades earlier than their peers. And the diversion from real, potentially procreative marriage will injure the young by diluting recognition that THEY are why society protects and favors natural marriage.
Young republicans are wrong. They are not conserving the important values of natural sexuality and family safe sanctuary.
The Five RINOs (really the Four RINOs and one open lib) on FNC the other day were gushing over gay RINO Carl DeMaio. The Establishment is clearly trying to marginalize the Christian Right’s influence in the GOP.
Politics is mostly about cui bono — who benefits. Gays benefit from gay marriage directly and tremendously. No one pays a personal cost for gay marriage. This creates a tremendous mismatch and permits concerted minorities to overcome (or as here eventually convert) attenuated majorities. What conservative issue fits that profile?
