Well, it's official. The GOP platform continues to refuse to acknowledge gay people as equals or humans for that matter. I honestly don't understand a party that wants to exclude ANY citizens of the U.S. The article below appeared in the Huffington Post last week and just goes to show that the GOP is out of touch and are truly bigoted. New polls indicate 63% of Americans support gay marriage, but the GOP still stands against it firmly...
AND they're nasty about it. One idiot likened gay people to those "dying of alcoholism" and called them "filthy."I'm so tired of this old, outdated, hate-filled, love-only-the rich, preach Jesus-and-act-the-opposite- party. Sure,
so it's okay for GOP people like the former SC governor to Commit Adultery and use 74K of the state's money (steal) to see his mistress in South America, but gay marriage is a heinous thing? I don't think so. That hypocritical thief is NOW the front runner for a U.S. House seat!! Can you believe it? If anyone says this man is a "Christian" or say they are "Christians" and vote for the face of adultery, thievery, coveting, etc. - they're hypocrites. (article:

IN THE NEWS: RNC Passes Unanimous Resolution Affirming GOP Is Still Against Gay Marriage (No surprise here)
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/12/rnc-gay-marriage_n_3071333.html?ir=Gay%20Voices
RNC committee members gathered at their annual spring conference in
Los Angeles voted unanimously on Friday to approve a number of
resolutions, including one to reaffirm that the GOP still opposes gay
marriage,
Time's Zeke J. Miller reported.
"[T]he Republican National Committee affirms its support for marriage
as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment
in which to raise healthy children for the future of America; and be it
further resolved, the Republican National Committee implores the U. S.
Supreme Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on
California’s Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act," the
resolution, first obtained by
Chris Moody of Yahoo News, read.
Miller
reports
that the resolution was submitted by RNC committeeman Dave Agema, a
Michigan Republican who has drawn criticism for calling gays and
lesbians
"filthy" and
comparing them to people who were "dying of alcoholism."
While such an anti-gay plank already existed in the party's official platform,
confirmed last summer at the Republican National Convention,
the latest vote comes after a week of public consternation among social
conservatives concerned that the party's aversion to marriage equality
was beginning to wither in the name of expanding its outreach.
