I do not under any circumstances condone impositions of Leftist morality—none of this whatsoever is in line with my personal values. I am not in favor of gay marriage nor am I pro-abortion.
What I'm trying to get at here is a more practical political question. Because if you look at the polls, we have an emerging reality now of an electorate whose prevailing tastes/preferences/values are increasingly turned away from traditional social Conservatism. For instance, Gallup says 50% of people support of gay marriage:
Odds are % is going to keep slowly up-ticking. Allow me to reiterate—I do not support this. But I think it's worth asking: What in the world do social conservatives realistically plan on doing about this, politically speaking? Because if you run on principle alone and double-down that gay marriage should banned, then you risk alienating HALF the electorate. I simply cannot conceive how this would be a viable winning strategy.
