Maybe I am more liberal on this, but wouldn't a stance on limited government mean that the federal government has no constitutional authority to limit who can and cannot benefit from marriage on the basis of sex? I am a lifelong republican and a married heterosexual at that, but I can't see where there would be constitutional authority to say that gays cannot file taxes together or get health insurance for their partners while heterosexuals can. I thought the role of our government was NOT to allow one group to use its influence to dominate and control the actions of a smaller group. That's why we don't have a democracy. We have a republic so that there is a defining set of rules for how democracy can and can't be used. Maybe it's that jesus thing. Maybe the fact that Jesus loved people makes me want to also. Who knows.
Republican conservative DOES NOT EQUAL homophobe.
