I think this thread is a prima-facia case for why the issue of gay rights should be quite simply omitted from the party platform. If the Republican Party is to take a stance it should be to leave it alone. National support should not be offered on either side of the issue because there is no broad consensus within the party on the issue. Why should the party spend time and money on an issue that does not garner vast support within the party? The party should be about forwarding those core policies and political ideas on which the overwhelming majority of its members agree.
Can I get an 'Amen' for political pragmatism?
