I am not a Rubio supporter - he’s too inexperienced, he shows distinct neocon behavior signs, he got rolled by Chuck Schumer, and he’s probably not smart enough (jury is out on that one).
But nobody who wouldn’t answer that question - “would you attend a “gay wedding” - in the affirmative is going to be elected President in 2016, or afterwards. That’s a fact.
America’s been overwhelmed by “nondiscrimination”. That’s a serious, perhaps fatal, collective mistake. But it’s the truth.
Nobody is pro “gay marriage”. It’s what Tom Wolfe called a “social Xray”. It’s a screening test for “discriminators”.And nobody who flunks is going to win.
No. That's your opinion. That silly question is a good opening to engage the "personally opposed, but....." position that so may squishes also mumble about abortion.
A good society proscribes things that attack its health and vigor. It does take more than a 15 second sound bite to explain that, though.
“Social Xray”
I think thats the term/concept I was fishing around for yesterday to describe how environmentalism may not be high on the important issues list for voters, but still plays a big role in determining how they vote.
Thanks for mentioning it!
Hogwash. Even liberal Oregon voted 66% against gay marriage.

All of that is very good and bears repeating.
FReepers who would refuse to attend their gay coworkers or boss’s or niece’s wedding are in the minority of Americans in 2015. 95% of Americans under 30 would definitely attend.
And if Cruz gets asked if he would attend a friend’s gay wedding, he’d better say yes or he is FINISHED. No doubt every busy pol has gays working for him.
