As
support for equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender
individuals grows in the GOP, the official stance of the Republican
Party remains rooted in opposition to those rights. The party's national
platform, written in 2012, comes out strongly against LGBT equality and
even calls for an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to ban same-sex
marriage.
For the most part, the same remains true at the state level. According
to a count by The Huffington Post, only seven states plus the District
of Columbia have no mention of opposition to same-sex marriage or other
rights for LGBT individuals in their party platforms. Fourteen states
appear to go by the national platform, leaving 29 other states with
their own platforms that oppose gay rights.
