Hate Groups Again Threaten to Leave GOP Over Gay Marriage

A who's who of hate groups and their Pharisee like leaders have signed a letter to RNC chairman Reince Preibus threatening to end their support for the GOP if the party platform is amended to remove opposition to same-sex marriage.  The RNC is currently meeting in California and has yet to vote on a resolution favored by the Christofascists and anti-gay hate merchants.  The image above denotes the signatories of the letter.  Here is an excerpt from the letter:

We respectfully warn GOP Leadership that an abandonment of its principles will necessarily result in the abandonment of our constituents to their support. We could not change that even if we wished to.

As a gesture of good faith and an affirmation of its positions, we strongly recommend that the RNC meeting in Los Angeles on April 9th pass a resolution reaffirming its support of the 2012 National GOP Platform adopted in Tampa.

The RNC needs to ignore the Christofascist threats for two reasons: (i) support for gay marriage is soaring, especially among younger voters who are replacing the angry elderly Christianist voters who are conveniently dying off, and (ii) despite the threats, these hate merchants have no viable alternative to the GOP.  They most certainly will not vote for Democrats and they are too anal to stay home from the polls.   

What really has the hate merchant's panties in a wad is the reality that fundraising based on opposition to gay marriage has been their cash cow for a number of years.  If the GOP ceases opposition and gay marriage becomes a nationwide phenomenon, the financial consequences to these hate groups could be catastrophic.    For example, Focus on the Family has already laid off hundreds of its staff.  Without money raised using gay marriage as the sales hook, lay offs will likely only increase.  For smaller hate group leaders the loss of gay marriage as a ploy to fleece contributors, some of these folks might have to actually get real jobs.  

Think Progress notes that the resolution endorsed by the hate group leaders rely heavily on junk science, claims of heterosexual superiority, and the fraudulent and widely debunked Regnerus study funded by anti-gay organizations.  As usual, lies and deceit are the standard behavior of the "godly Christian" crowd.
