Gays comprise 1-3% of the populace. It is reasonable to assume that less than half of this bloc vote Republican. There is no reason to offer homosexuals the olive branch of "normalcy" in the GOP if, in doing so, cultural conservatives bolt. And it is likely they will.

The 1-3% numbers will not grow or change. I'd say PC pandering was going on here, but to what end?

Voting is a private thing. Homosexuals can and do vote for whomever they want. The attempt to make this foul perversion a "nonissue" for Republicans is an attempt to push it toward acceptance. If Republicans are gaining political power, and a tiny percentage of voters want the Republicans to carry their water - I say Feh!
