What ever happened to real conservatives?

Republicans might revise the language in their party platform regarding gay rights when they meet in Cleveland for their national convention, which begins July 18.

“The compromises are going to end up in the same place where it’s pretty much been, just to keep the fighting at a minimum,” an RNC delegate told CBS. “But there are ways to say things that show we are a party that believes in fairness for all Americans.”

The revisions will be debated by the 112 members of the RNC platform committee, which recommends the policies for the full convention to vote on. Part of the impetus for the debate is that the 2012 platform states GOP opposition to the “redefinition of marriage,” but traditional marriage laws have since been overturned by the Supreme Court.

“If it’s whether or not we should have gay marriage, it has nothing to do with it,” Jim Bobb Jr., a platform committee member told CBS. “[Pulse nightclub-goers] weren’t killed in Orlando because they couldn’t get married, they were killed because they are gay. And we oppose that.”

“There may be some rhetorical changes in how it’s communicated, but I don’t think support for natural marriage will diminish at all,” David Barton, a platform committee member from Texas, concurred.
