James believes being gay is a choice and also punishable by god.
Craig James
I can assure you I will never ride in a gay parade. And I hear what youre saying, Tom, but leaders our kids out there people need to see examples... I think its a choice, I do... I think that you have to make that choice. But in that case right there, they are going to have to answer to the Lord for their actions. We should not give benefits to those civil unions.

Comparing legalizing gay marriage to the French Revolution
Rick Santorum
They are taking faith and crushing it. Why? When you marginalize faith in America, when you remove the pillar of God-given rights then whats left is the French Revolution. Whats left is a government that gives you rights. Whats left are no unalienable rights. Whats left is a government that will tell you who you are, what youll do and when youll do it. Whats left in France became the the guillotine.

Santorum says homosexual activity is not equal to heterosexual activity and should not be recognized as equal by law.
Rick Santorum

We can flesh out some, well, let's look at what's going to be taught in our schools because now we have same sex couples being the same and their sexual activity being seen as equal and being affirmed by society as heterosexual couples and their activity.

Mitt Romney
Romney has selected Ric Grenell as his foreign adviser who is also gay. Grenell is well qualified but due to the recent political climate on gay marriage, the Romney camp has not been letting Grenell speak out on foreign issues. Romney has been getting a lot of heat from the religious right for hiring an openly gay person.
