Probably prudent for the party to avoid the issue until they can find a face-saving way of getting in line with current public opinion.
We need to save our ammo for fights on issues that can be won (RKBA, spending).

True public opinion or teh manufactured for primetime public opinion?
Public opinion was against homosexuals in the military, yet it got shoved down our throats.
And there ya have it. You are pro-same sex marriage as it is “prudent for the party”.
We need to save our ammo for fights on issues that MUST be won (correction)
Financial Armageddon will kill tens of millions while we argue about gun control / Gays / pick your distraction
What do you think of homosexual “marriage”? Probably prudent for the party to avoid the issue until they can find a face-saving way of getting in line with current public opinion.
Yes, I'm calling the boss in on this. Current public opinion on the subject of sodomite marriage is of no consequence. Free Republic standards are violated where there's any defense, however mild or masked, of the homosexual agenda. Jim Robinson makes it clear: We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism...
Avoiding the issue while awaiting the whims of "current public opinion" is not advocating either Conservative or Christian values. And this is a Conservative site not a GOP forum.
Would this be the same shifting public opinion that rejected homosexual marriage by the citizens of Californication, or the one that legalized the use of Marijuana in several states?
Instead how about if we are the party that informs and educates the public about the real dangers of aberrant behavior?
