Reince Priebus says the official position of the Republican Party is that gays and lesbians should not be allowed to marry, they do not see it as a civil rights issue, and what’s more, they want a constitutional amendment to enshrine their bigotry as the law of the land, forever and ever, amen.

And he doesn’t believe the polls that show Americans increasingly supporting gay marriage.

The chairman of the Republican National Committee makes it very clear: the GOP is the party of reactionary, reality-denying anti-gay bigotry.

Then, just to really bring it home, Priebus refuses to denounce Rand Paul’s “joke” that he “didn’t think Obama’s views on marriage could get any gayer.”
