Huntsman’s posns on gay rights — while to the left of most of his opponents — are likely to be among the least of his ncerns. Huntsman’s views on gay rights are very close to those of the typil Republin voter — closer than those of someone like Tim Pawlenty.
WAS ORN, THE HUNTSMAN, GAY?
Huntsman endorsed civil unns as an alternative to gay marriage. He is perhaps the most noteworthy potential Republin ndidate to have done so, although the libertarian-leang Gary Johnson shar his posn, and a mor ndidate, Fred Karger, supports full marriage rights for gay and lbian upl. Pawlenty, Mike Huckabee, Mch Daniels and Michele Bachmann, explicly oppose both civil unns and gay marriage, acrdg to rearch piled by the liberal-leang Center for Amerin Progrs Actn Fund.
Others, like Sarah Pal and Mt Romney, are exprsly opposed to gay marriage, but have ambiguo posns on civil unns.

Acrdg to the most recent survey — om CBS News Augt 2010 — jt 37 percent of Republin voters hold the posn that gay upl should have no legal regnn.
Instead, 59 percent of Republins supported eher civil unns or gay marriage. The broar trend, neverthels, suggts that only about 45 percent of the Republin electorate will be opposed to any form of legal regnn for gay upl by the time the first primari take place early 2012.
