The GOP May Soon Be Abandoning Social Conservatives
The GOP is steadily moving leftward in pursuit of approval (and votes) from homosexual activists. Even the GOP’s response to Obama’s State of the Union address was devoid of any rebuttal to his promotion of homosexual special “rights” in the military. If the GOP continues its pursuit of the homosexual voting bloc, it only stands to lose the larger portion of its base still committed to God’s idea of sexual morality.
A new article details some of the pro-homosexual moves the GOP is making. Here is some evidence the article’s author provides for the GOP’s homosexual “evolution:”
“The upcoming Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) has invited gay Republican groups to its annual meeting in February — a move that has been met with boycotts from some conservative groups.”
“During the lame duck Congressional session last year, 15 House Republicans and eight Senate Republicans crossed over to support a repeal of “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” that banned gays from serving openly in the military. Gay groups say their initial whip counts were much lower.”
“Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) accepted an award from the Log Cabin Republicans in September, becoming the highest-ranking Republican to do so.”
“National Republican Congressional Committee chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) invited gay groups to meet-and-greets with the party’s “Young Guns” candidates last cycle, and the groups have been included in meetings with all three major party campaign committees.”

The Fix – The GOP’s quiet evolution on gay rights
The Washington Post
“Republicans rode to victory on the strength of so-called “values voters” in 2004, championing a message of social conservatism on issues like abortion and gay marriage.” .. ”
Since then, the Iraq war and the struggling economy have consumed the American electorate and left little appetite for much else.
But beneath it all, a little-noticed trend has emerged: the Republican Party has moved steadily to the left on gay rights.”
Romans 13:1-6
Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing.
