G.O.P. Hopefuls Denounce Marriage Equality Ruling

Across the country, among people of all ages and religions, the acceptance of same-sex marriage has grown with stunning speed. But not in the leadership of the Republican Party. …

With public opinion moving so unambiguously away from support for restricting marriage to heterosexual couples, the Republican National Committee has acknowledged that the party stands to continue to lose favor with voters, especially younger people who are overwhelmingly in favor of same-sex marriage. Its 2012 postelection assessment warned that if Republicans appear intolerant on gay rights, “voters will continue to tune us out.”

Yet acceptance of same-sex marriage inside the party continues to be outside the norm. CONT.
