The president of the Log Cabin Republicans, Patrick Sammon, urges fellow conservatives to back off using gay marriage as a wedge issue again:
“Acceptance of loving, committed gay and lesbian couples is on the rise and, consequently, the marriage debate does not have the same heat it used to. Republicans who try exploiting the issue for political gain this November will fail. And they'll further alienate the young people who are already leaving the GOP in droves.”
So…stop pushing this issue because it's no longer effective, not because it's wrong?
