"DNC MEMO: The ridiculous GOP answer on same-sex weddings

From: Mo Elleithee, DNC Communications Director

Re: The ridiculous GOP answer on same-sex weddings

It appears that the new, burning, hard-hitting question that GOP presidential hopefuls are tripping all over is whether or not they would attend a same-sex wedding of someone they personally knew and cared for.

Here’s what they’ve said.

Bush: Sure, if I care about the person.

Rubio: Sure, but I don’t have to like it.

Kasich: Yes, but I don’t have to like it.

Perry: Probably.

Cruz: I haven’t been faced with that circumstance.

Santorum: No.

Walker: I’ve been to a reception, but not a wedding.

Jindal: Sure, if I care about the person.

Fiorina: Yes, but only if it’s NOT in a church.

This is getting ridiculous.

Here’s the real answer: if they had their way, NONE of these candidates would attend a same-sex wedding, because ALL of these candidates believe that same-sex marriages should be illegal.

So, you’ll forgive me for not being impressed by a Republican presidential candidate who would go to a same-sex wedding for someone they know, when they oppose weddings for people they don’t."
