This is a civil rights issue, and R's either believe in staying out of citizen's private lives, or they believe in legislating morality.
That's a contradiction. Recognizing gay rights is an expansion of government. If Republicans were true to their amusingly ironic slogan of small government, they'd get the government out of the marriage business altogether.

To whomever left me the anonymous rep, homosexuality may be a "sin" according to your religion, but so are many other things according to the Bible, and yet they are cherry-picked to suit the picker. Moot point.
These polls are simply wrong for the simple fact that there is no ground swell support for gay marriage among heterosexuals. Simply saying you support something because you don't care isn't support, it is apathy. Apathetic people don't vote much hence the reason gay marriage loses badly everytime it comes up to a vote.
A more meaningful poll is the one which shows that a 25% of indepedents are more likely to not for Obama as a result of his support for gay marriage. This issue is a losing one and the GOP would be wise to stay the course.
I tried to rep you, but it wouldn't let me. That's what people don't understand polls are meaningless. A lot of people say they support gay marriage because they don't want to look intolerant or because that's the in thing to do, you know Hollywood says its cool. But when they get in that voting booth by themselves it's a different story.

You should take stats and probability. It's very interesting how those facts are overcome.

Which "Hollywood" would you be talking about? Hollywood is notoriously anti-gay. That would be why it's extremely rare for an openly gay person to ever get a leading role in a movie or TV show.
I still can't believe this country allows the majority to determine the civil rights of American citizens in the minority. Seems rather barbaric...
Who decided marriage was a civil right?
