Are you saying that with a straight face.

The Supreme Court legalized both nationally. Obama (and Hillary) had the same had the Republican view on gay marriage until supporting it was worth more votes just a view years ago. Many, if not most, of the state that legalized gay marriage before the ruling did so by direct props on a ballot, not through either party.

And gay marriage is one portion of a much larger discussion about government's role in anyone's marriage and the IRS handling of taxes based on marriage, among things. And that doesn't begin to cover divorce courts, probate and family court issues that are a necessary part of government licensed marriages. Of course, Repubs and Dems agree on all of this so discussion doesn't occur and most people don't even realize perspectives that differing from the establishment party exists.
