Revision as of 02:55, September 5, 2015
| Candidate | Position | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Ben Carson | Homosexuality is a choice, not something someone is born with. The Supreme Court decision for same-sex marriage is illegitimate and he would not enforce it. | There has been some concern about backpedaling. For example, in response to the 5-4 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell, Carson announced that homosexual marriage is "now the law of the land."[1] |
| Mike Huckabee | As president, he would order the Executive Branch not to enforce the illegitimate Supreme Court decision in Obergefell. Huckabee has been the leader among all candidates in defending Kim Davis, the Christian clerk in Kentucky imprisoned for declining to authorize homosexual marriage licenses. | Consistent and principled, Huckabee asked Ohio to file a petition for rehearing to overturn Obergefell. |
| Rick Santorum | Long a leader against the homosexual agenda. | Asked Ohio to file a petition for rehearing to overturn Obergefell. |
| Ted Cruz | His campaigns have been financed in substantial part by pro-homosexual donors.[2] | Has declined to say that he would order the Executive Branch not to enforce Obergefell, and would not ask Ohio to file a petition for rehearing in the case. |
| Lindsey Graham | wants the Republican Party to fully accept homosexual marriage, and remove the opposition to it in the platform[3] | |
| Rick Perry | once strong against homosexual marriage, Perry seems to be avoiding it now. | |
| Jeb Bush | accepts homosexual marriage and is staffed by multiple supporters of the homosexual agenda | |
| Donald Trump | Trump supports judicial supremacy to impose the homosexual agenda, as demonstrated by his refusal to defend Kim Davis. "The decision's been made, and that's the law of the land," he declared, apparently accepting the fallacy that courts can make new law.[4] Separately, he has stated he is for traditional marriage[5] | Trump's double-digit lead will evaporate as people realize that he is, for all practical purposes, on the side of the homosexual agenda. |
| Rand Paul | ||
| Marco Rubio | A one time advocate for traditional marriage, he recorded robocalls for the National Organization for Marriage | NOM dropped their support for Rubio after he stated, “While I disagree with this decision, we live in a republic and must abide by the law.” [6] |
| Carly Fiorina | ||
| Bobby Jindal | ||
| Chris Christie | signed into law a top priority of the homosexual agenda: banning conversion therapy for minors in New Jersey | |
| Scott Walker | accepts homosexual marriage for the time being, but supports banning openly gay Scout leaders because it has "protected children." |
his donors are probably pro-homosexual agenda |
| John Kasich | accepts homosexual marriage | was affiliated with the pro-homosexual Fox News Channel |
| George Pataki | supports homosexual marriage[7] |
