We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

Cite where in the platform it says anything like that.

See the sections on "Defending Marriage", and "Marriage, Family, and Society"
That document seems to be corrupted. All I see is they want marriage to be defined as a man and a woman. I can't copy and paste out of it for some reason, and I can't even open it in a browser.
Is that your earth-shattering evidence? That is from 2016, but it is the current platform. I suspect that will change as people really don't care anymore.
Exactly.
It crossed my mind to link more, but I knew you wouldn't even be able to handle this one. Best to stick to one at a time, lest you ignore the rest as you often do.
If it doesn't represent the GOP, then they shouldn't have it on their site. They chose to keep it up because that bigotry hasn't changed.
Agreed. That's why I stopped after only one. It just not worth it to hunt down the rest of the examples and format them here.
I'm not gonna put effort in just for it to get dismissed out of hand, ignored, or some other weak excuse to be brought up.
I don’t see that as anti-gay. I fully support gay marriage but to me that’s a yawn
Don't look up.
Honestly one of the best, simple response to most conservative talking points
If we use that logic, Bill Clinton and Obama were anti-gay as well. Bernie Sanders, as well.
You're equating a position the GOP presently, publicly stands by to the past positions of individuals who have since changed their minds, and are misquoted.
Stop with the unicorns and magic.
I’m not. I don’t think being pro-traditional marriage is anti-gay. Anti-sodomy laws are anti-gay but I don’t feel the same way about marriage.
Being "pro traditional marriage" necessarily discriminates against gay couples.
Not sure you get discrimination. It just means to choose. So yes, it is discriminatory but that doesn’t make something illegal or wrong. I suppose you’re not old enough to remember the old coffee commercial about discriminating taste. As I said I support it but there is a weird religious sect of the Republican Party that I wish we could remove.
Who you marry is really none of my business.
You just can't help but immediately move to the next goal post can you?
No I clearly stating I don’t agree with your opinion. People don’t always agree. I think your stance is wrong. Though I’m impressed you actually tried to cite something relevant for once. I just don’t think it’s the smoking gun you think it is.
“It isn’t discrimination if it’s those people”
That’s you
That’s what you sound like
Go look up the word discrimination. Why don’t people understand what the word means?
Your definitions are on wheels most of the time, let’s be real here
No my definitions are from the dictionary. Let’s be real.
Discrimination isn’t inherently bad and a key concept of human rights.
Saying the quiet part out loud a little bit there bud
Say you hang around Nazis? or do you discriminate against them? Maybe you should look the word up since you don't understand what it means.
You're not going to get a citation, logic, or reason. You're gonna get magic and unicorns.
Huh? SCOTUS made gay marriage legal. Which person do you think made it legal?
I think you are confused. My trans friend is married and could have been married before SOTUS approved it.
Also, my friend isn't into gay rights. While you think LBGTQ+ is a monolithic group, it isn't. She isn't anti-gay rights, but gay rights don't concern her. She is VERY into trans rights.
Do you… do you not realize how asinine you sound?

It has not changed.
While I don’t agree with their games. That’s a 1st amendment issue.
My view is as a government employee. Do your job and shut up.
I think I get part of your malfunction now. You think all conservatives are socially conservative. I am not. I lean much more left on most social topics. I’m right with military, spending, etc.
I’m not religious. So the social Bible thumping conservatives I have little in common with.
He doesn't think anything, he has provided ypu the platforms own statements on these topics. You think you can ignore reality as a debate tactic.
Something's corrupted alright, that's for sure.
It’s the whole “campaigning specifically on attacking trans people and minorities” that kinda gives it away
He doesn’t set the platform for the party. Pizza said it was in the platform.
It seems awfully rude to ask him to cite his unhinged hallucinations
