Why the GOP Removed Anti-Gay Language From Its Platform
Briefly

The 2024 GOP platform removed opposition to same-sex marriage but emphasizes the sanctity of marriage, marking a significant shift from previous stances that criticized same-sex marriage.
Log Cabin Republicans' president, Charles Moran, believes the GOP's removal of opposition to same-sex marriage signals progress in including LGBTQ+ individuals, highlighting a shift within the party.
Moran notes the significant change from the Bush-era conservative movement's hostility towards same-sex marriage to the GOP's current efforts to include LGBTQ+ people.
Democrats see the change in the GOP's platform as political showmanship, emphasizing the need for genuine support for LGBTQ+ rights instead of symbolic gestures.
