MILLENNIAL GOPERS: LET'S BACK GAY MARRIAGE
'This issue is not going away – it's not a fad'

Millennials in the Republican Party are telling their GOP elders to shape up or be prepared to ship out – gay marriage isn’t going anywhere and they need to embrace the issue or face voter backlash.
Millennials in the Republican Party are telling their GOP elders to shape up or be prepared to ship out – gay marriage isn’t going anywhere and they need to embrace the issue or face voter backlash.“This issue is not going away – it’s not a fad,” said S.E. Cupp, a self-described conservative who contributes to CNN.
She gave a near-tearful commentary on the heels of the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage, praising the decision as a boon for America.
“I didn’t get emotional because of the politics,” she said, the Hill reported. “It’s about millennials watching their friends come out, this is about parents who have seen their gay teens commit suicide. … This is personal for people.”
Now those of the millennial generation – defined as between the ages of 18 and 34 – who also tout conservative politics are pressing their Republican colleagues to back gay marriage.
“Dignity, respect and fairness are a huge part of what this generation wants to see in this debate.” said Alex Smith, national chairwoman of the College Republican National Commitee, kin the Hill.
Polling shows gay marriage is front and center to the millennial generation, and Smith said Republicans needs to realize their younger party members aren’t looking to fight the Supreme Court decision. The Hill reported 61 percent of Republicans between 18 and 34 years old support gay marraige, according to a Project right Side and American Unity Fund poll from a month ago.
Nationally, 57 percent of voters say they support gay marriage – putting millennials at the forefront of deciding the future of this cultural fight.
“If we don’t strike the right tone on gay rights – we could start to see the door close on us even if we have the right ideas on the economy that millennials want,” Smith said, the Hill reported.
The comments come as leading Republican presidential candidates, including former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and Sen. Ted Cruz, have issued blunt statements of opposition to the Supreme Court’s ruling.
Cruz called it “some of the darkest 24 hours in our nation’s history” while Huckabee suggested civil disobedience as a sensible solution.

If this Degenerate Court Ruling remains, America is FINISHED before the Living God, as He will not let the Nation remain in this condition. If America insists upon being a "gay" Nation she has NO FUTURE, as Sodom and Gomorrah gave up their Future.
