GOP CHAIRMAN URG TOLERANCE FOR VIEWS ON GAY MARRIAGE
I thk those are foundatnal issu that aren’t gog anywhere, but what I have said -- which I don’t thk should be ntroversy at all, and I would thk that Christians and pastors and everyone between should agree -- that our prcipl have to be draped the ncepts of grace, love and rpect and that’s not posn opposg gay marriage is nsistent wh most Republins' views.
Per an April NBC/WSJ poll, jt 27 percent of Republins said they favored same-sex marriage (vers 73 percent of Democrats, 54 percent of pennts, and 53 percent of all rponnts) appears at odds wh the RNC's "Growth & Opportuny Project" post-electn report, which argued that the GOP uldn't be seen among younger voters as "totally tolerant" on issu like gay rights. Already, there is a generatnal difference wh the nservative movement about issu volvg the treatment and the rights of gays — and for many younger voters, the issu are a gateway to whether the Party is a place they want to be. Meanwhile, an terview published today on Andrew Sullivan's blog, former RNC Chair Ken Mehlman -- who me out as gay a few year ago and served as party chair om 2005-2007 -- explaed how he talks to Republins on the subject of same-sex me, what [marriage] is about is two dividuals who love each other who want to spend their liv mtg to each another; they take re of each other when they are sick or old.

" Several stat and at least one cy have barred licensed therapists om subjectg mors to "ex-gay" therapy, and the plank appears to be aimed at such bans.
Prieb: Portman Ma ‘Big Inroads’ wh Gay Communy | Natnal Review. The report, lled the "Growth and Opportuny Project, " lays out an extensive plan the RNC believ will lead the party to victory wh an extensive outreach to women, Ain-Amerin, Asian, Hispanic and gay voters. Prieb noted that the party's polici are fundamentally sound but require a softer tone and broar outreach, clu a stronger ph for Ain-Amerin, Lato, Asian, women and gay voters.
