Gay marriage is a dead issue these days among Republican leadership, according to Politico. The economy is No. 1 and the GOP doesn't really feel like talking about gay stuff anymore. Even conservative stars like Rep. Allen West don't seem to care.

“I personally have deep convictions about my children having a financially stable country that they can live in,” Rep. Allen West(R-Fla.) said in an interview. “I want my daughters to have the opportunities that I had, and that’s what concerns me. That’s what keeps me up awake at night, not worrying about who’s sleeping with who.”
