Huckabee: If the GOP switches on gay marriage, evangelicals walk

Watch that door, Huck.

Churches, synagogues, and mosques cannot be forced to perform same-sex marriages, and they have a perfect right to refuse to do so.  I presume they also have the right not recognize such marriages on religious principle.

But civil society has a right to define civil marriage as it wishes.

This is not a theocracy.

If evangelicals can't stand that, too bad. They have been free to make their case as persuasively as they can in every legal way, but it seems that they have not been able to move enough people to their side to control the issue.

Win some, lose some. That's how secular democracies are supposed to work, Huck. If that's unacceptable, then go ahead and walk to wherever it is you'd walk to.

Your ultimatum is unpersuasive in any case. The GOP has certainly had no trouble losing with the evangelicals. Who knows, could it find it easier to win without them?
