As is the question of whether or not they will remain part of the base if the GOP appears to be moving away from support of that agenda in some fashion. Which IMO is what makes it somewhat newsworthy when a fairly prominent Republican chooses to come out as a homosexual.

What is news worthy about it is the fact he was part of Bush's administrations and he strongly opposed gay marriage. Now that he has come out it makes it kind of ironic.
Now, we have spent enough time with the GOP and this anti-gay stuff is part of the GOP but we have failed to explore Obama. Has anyone taken a good look at what Obama thinks of gay marriage? It ain't pretty I assure you.
