All of these people announced support for same-sex marriage after being elected, or after leaving public service. It seems unlikely that the republican party would run a new candidate that included support of gay marriage as part of their platform. Maybe I'm wrong though.
The cognitive dissonance is strong in this thread.
Trump is a special case in so many ways. Few of the republicans in power wanted him and he pretty much stole the the republican candidacy.
The views that I indicated about Republicans exist today and now, not a hundred or more years ago. If you do a poll or research polls already done, the overwhelming majority of American who oppose gay marriage are republicans (and it seems a majority of republicans care). When gay marriage is brought up as an issue in discourse, it is almost always a republican saying something morally reprehensible.
If not for republicans people's gender would largely not be issue in modern politic, but they seem to care about your genitals when you: sign up to be a soldier, want to do family planning, try to get married to another consenting adult.
I forgot, what was the bill number of the law Obama pushed through Congress when the Democrats controlled it that made the selective service apply to women as well? Oh, right, it doesn't exist because Democrats don't give a shit about equality, they just use identity politics to enrage people.
>want to do family planning
You're being intellectually dishonest if you have the brainpower to comment on this site and are pretending this has to do with anything other than the argument about when a human life begins.
Huge chunks of pro lifers give no shits about people using birth control. Yet they consider a human life to begin much sooner than the pro choice crowd. So from their perspective, allowing a woman to extinguish a life is unacceptable. From the pro choice crowd, they think the pro lifers are just sexists interfering with a procedure on the same level as a colonoscopy.
Personally having a position is different from putting it in your political agenda.
