The latest news coming out of the inner circles of the Republican Party is that it's platform committee will not be softening it's positions on issues important to the LGBT community. Historically the GOP has been hostile to gay rights in obedience to the evangelicals and social conservatives.
Republican legislators will be introducing a bill that will legalize discrimination against LGBT citizens by businesses and individuals based on one's religious beliefs. The bill will be introduced on July 12th, the month anniversary of the Orlando massacre at a gay nightclub.
Multiple sources are reporting a major Republican Party platform will endorse passing an amendment to the Constitution of the United States to outlaw same sex marriages throughout all 50 states. This contradicts the claim of some Republican politicians who have stated that each state should decide it's own laws concerning same sex marriage. Sen. Ted Cruz (R - Texas) has already drafted a bill to begin the passage of a constitutional amendment limiting marriage to opposite sex individuals.

I seem to remember a video of hilary saying that marriage is only for a man and woman, not 2 people of the same sex.

Sorry..But equating something said some decades ago..does NOT compare on how the Country has evolved over those decades..Even Obama evolved as did VP Biden..So puleese having a UTD Republican declare war on LBGT and Gay marriage that of which Some State ( GOP) Governments have already had their legislations being overturned as "Unconstitutional" given their reasoning to create such laws..Mostly to gain more POWER by Christians over any other "Belief" system..
GOP is not doing themselves any favours in "TODAY"S" society.. Ignorance on their part ..They want to go BACK in a time of ignorance..and claim "Righteousness" Give me a break
Can the Rs seriously believe that they could really get this constitutional amendment????????
I don't think they seriously believe they can pass it; it may be rhetoric just to placate some of their base.

Hillary's views on legalized same sex marriage may have changed, but she does have a solid record of supporting LGBT civil rights going back more than 30 years. I suggest you read a book called "Victory: The Triumphant Gay Revolution" by Linda Hirschman which came out a few years ago.
