Republicans Refuse To Recognize Civil Unions In Their Platform

Republicans vote down a provision that would have recognized civil unions.

This would move us away from the benefits that marriage extends to a society,” objected Tony Perkins, the president of the Family Research Council and a Louisiana delegate.

A handful of other members rose up to oppose the measure, which failed as opponents raised their voices to loudly say “no.” About a dozen members of the more than 100 delegates in the room voted in favor.
