DC GOP Committee adopts gay marriage

The DC Republican Committee has added language in support of gay marriage to its official platform. From a press release sent out by the Log Cabin Republicans, a gay conservative group:

Yesterday, the DC Republican Committee (DCRC), the DC equivalent of a state party, became the first Republican state party to insert inclusive language into its party platform leading up to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida.

Under the heading of ‘Family and Marriage,’ the DCRC added, “We, the Republicans of the District of Columbia support the belief that all individuals, without regard to sexual orientation, are entitled to full and equal protection under the laws and the Constitution and that everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect.”

D.C. legalized gay marriage in 2010.
