The Indiana Republican Party voted to keep language defining marriage as being “between a man and a woman” in its platform, rejecting language meant to be more inclusive of same-sex couples.

Members at the GOP state party’s convention on Saturday overwhelming voted to keep the language first adopted under then-Gov. Mike Pence (R) in 2014, the Times of Northwest Indiana reported. The Supreme Court in 2015 ruled that same-sex marriage was legal in the U.S.

Party chairman Kyle Hupfer, who was picked for the job by Gov. Eric Holcomb (R), had proposed changing the language to recognize more families, including “all loving adults” with children. “We support traditional families with a mother and father, blended families, grandparents, guardians, single parents and all loving adults who successfully raise and nurture children to reach their full potential every day,” the proposal read.

Morgan County party chairman Daniel Elliot told the Times that the concept of marriage being between a man and woman is central to the beliefs of “Hoosier Republicans.”

eventually become a very small minority.

6. As a Hoosier...

[IrishEyes]

7. What about married people who choose not to have children?

I don't see that is in Kyle Hupfer's statement. Obviously, this is all ridiculous. Marriage between two people of the same sex is just as valid as marriage between people of the opposite sex.

16. Very important...It defines them..Now we know exactly who they are.

Instead of including everyone, the Indiana Republicans are people who "exclude..." No..don't recognize ...'more families let us define and exclude those we do not want to have families"

...exclude..
...exclude..

spread the word, this is proof that is who they are... people who want to define for you...and exclude..keep out, shame, and HATE.....


Let's appoint ...Moran County party chairman...David Elliot..as the Republican in Charge..spread the word....Why?....65 - 70 percent are against this crap. And... 70 percent want to include all families..

.I will take a 70 percent majority in the next election for the Democrats .. Will you accept a 70 % majority ?
