Paul says he doesn’t want to argue about “gay marriage.”
That’s probably a mistake. If pressed he should say it’s wrong, that he does not believe in social engineering through the power of government, which this is in spades. Both small and large L libertarians will resonate with that. Still I can see the point in keeping the hands off of the third rail as much as possible, until an advantageous position is acquired.
Paul came out for gay marriage, what he should say is that as a Senator voting on federal laws, and as a candidate to be the most important head of the federal government, that he will fight to outlaw it at the federal level.
