Bottom line is that with the SCOTUS ruling, the platform plank is useless. Unlike abortion ruling which may be changed, don’t see that one changing.

SCOTUS refused to rule on the LEGALITY/ILLEGALITY of SLAVERY for many years, didn't they?

They (GOP Delegates/Platform) will throw out any ABORTION concerns why not MARRIAGE as defined by our Judeo/Christian Roots?

I smell those dang Cruz Delegates at it again./s

Even if that’s the case, there is still much to be fought for in regards to it. By adopting any different language that “softens” the Republican stance (i.e., rejects the Biblical meanings of marriage and the two sexes), that means allowing churches to be forced to accept “gay marriage” and unrepentant people engaging in homosexual conduct, and reading of the Bible to be banned as “hate speech.” This might not only lead to churches losing their tax exemptions (a situation they shouldn’t even be in), but eventually to them being shut down and pastors and Christians who speak out being fined or threatened with prison. The secular humanists have the will to do all these things.
