(Worthy News)– Although the Republican Party's official platform calls for a federal constitutional amendment defining marriage as "the union of one man and one woman," the Republican National Committee commissioned a report calling for more "inclusive and welcoming" tones on divisive social issues – particularly those "involving the treatment and the rights of gays." Deep in the nation's Bible Belt, new signs emerged this weekend of an evolution among Republican governors on gay marriage, an explosive social issue that has divided America's families and politics for years. While the Republican Party's religious conservatives continue to fight against same-sex marriage, its governors appear to be backing off their opposition – in their rhetoric, at least. For some, the shift may be more a matter of tone than substance as the Republican Party tries to attract new voters ahead of the midterm elections. Nonetheless, it is dramatic turn for a party that has long been defined by social conservative values. — Source View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 it may well be the only way to win elections...... Good point. They may be willing to sacrifice some of their religiously/morally associated conservative views in the name of votes. I don't necessarily think that makes it fair.

The republican party will lose a lot more Christian votes than that, when they adopt the sin of gay sex into their platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be their supporters, too, which is a whole lot more than 3% of the country. You're absolutely right that they'll also lose votes from Christian conservatives.
