Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, issued some words of advice for fellow GOPers: Get in the 21st century with same-sex-marriage issues.
“We do have a platform, and we adhere to that platform,” Mr. Priebus said in a USA Today video. “But it doesn’t mean that we divide and subtract people from our party” who favor gay marriage.
“I don’t believe we need to act like Old Testament heretics,” he said in the USA Today video. Rather, Republicans “have to strike a balance between principle and grace and respect.”
His statements come as the U.S. Supreme Court is due to hear two cases on gay marriage — one on a California-voted ban on same-sex marriage, and the other on the legalities of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which bans the federal government from giving marriage benefits to same-sex couples.
His statements also come at a time when politicians from both sides of the political aisle are renouncing their past objections to gay marriage. On the Republican side, Sen. Rob Portman – an Ohio conservative with traditional values — just flipped on gay marriage, in part, he said, because of the recent revelations of homosexuality by one of his sons.

Agreed.
“Old Testament heretics,”
Does he even realize how idiotic that is?
However, what Reince is really saying here is conservatives who forcefully argue against gay marriage are overzealous and we should avoid confronting the left on this issue in public. More proof that Chairman Unpronounceable Name needs to go and should have been dumped a while ago. I hope all the freepers who backed this guy have buyer's remorse by now.
So, Reince... we’re going to go against Biblical teaching to satisfy to pro-homo movement?
Funny thing is, he’s talking as if there was a chance a GOPer was ever going to win the Presidency again.
Are there five God fearing politicians in Washington DC. I am closing my checkbook to the Republican party. Their pleas for money via mail will go into file 13 and phone pleas will be hung up on.
He’s an anti-semite.
Since more Freepers seem to be having a come to Jesus moment with the GOP andthe need for principles thanks to the Homo issue, I’d like to extend to them an invitation to give those already there a hand in telling the GOP fanboys and excusemakers that always seem to have a reason to support them regardless of how egregious the crap they spew, to....
POUND SALT.
Each and every time they start screaming and calling us Obama supporters and traitors and the rest of the absolute bulls$hiX we have to deal with daily. Because soon enough, YOU will be on their hate list.
Here’s the deal, a lot of men with money and power are also sexual deviants and probably take trips to S. America or SE Asia to get their rocks off then come back here to do their job on Capital Hill or from the legal bench.
OF course these pervs want same sex marriage, most of them are closet cases or a good number are anyway. Not to mention kid touchers or whore chasers.
The lawyers that run our country are corrupt to the core.
Reince? Reince? You still on the line?? "
Hey Prince....what is there to RESPECT ABOUT SODOMY??? Please tell me.
AMEN!!
The face of Reince Priebus is the target on the RINO’s back.
So we should throw God under the bus for votes?
I would rather be on the right side and lose than the wrong side and win.

No one is suggesting we should “throw the queer down the well”, to bend a Borat-ism.
But when queer agenda folks want to teach elementary school kids that fudge packing is “normal”, it’s time to say No. And that is part of the issue here. That stuff is going on in places like MA.
You’re right. There is plenty of science to make the case against same sex marriage as well as homosexuality as a negative lifestyle choice.
