Republicans constantly claim to be the party that defends the Constitution. We have no legitimate right to that claim until we get right on gay rights.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
True republicanism is the sovereignty of the people. There are natural and imprescriptible rights which an entire nation has no right to violate.
I'm saying it loud: I'm a Republican who supports gay rights.
I have no problem with any gay group that says they're Republicans, but I will fight them tooth and nail if they try to change what the Republican Party believes.
Gay rights are human rights.
The Constitution does not just protect those whose views we share; it also protects those with whose views we disagree.
What rights are there for homosexuals? The only right is to be led to repentance. To live in such defilement of the body, in such dishonour, in such abomination, while all the time asking for liberties the church cannot grant, is unbelievable.
I oppose the attempts of homosexual activists to treat homosexual activity as a civil right to be protected and promoted by the government.
The Second Amendment is a constitutional right. I didn't make it up, the Republican Party didn't make it up. It's in the Constitution. I think it's just as important as any of the other rights in our constitution.
Because Republicans believe that the federal government is limited in its function-some have concluded that Republicans are somehow inherently insensitive to minority rights. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Defending birthright citizenship is about being on the right side of liberty. The 14th Amendment is a great legacy of the Republican Party.
