Is the Tide Really Turning?

I haven't decided if the future platform of the Republican party as it relates to the gays is tied to the stances of Dick Cheney and Meghan McCain or if they are outliers.

Let's add one more Republican to the list, though; Margaret Hoover is a Republican contributor to Fox News and published the following article to Foxnews.com:

Why I’m Joining the Fight for Marriage Equality

Some Republicans support gay rights, but prefer progress through legislative action or majority rule at the ballot box, rather than judicial action. But what if a democratic election imposes mandates that violate a citizen’s constitutional freedom? In the event that majority rule insufficiently protects individual liberty, our system of checks and balances puts forth that it is the role of the courts, to guarantee and protect the rights to individual Americans.


Is the tide turning on this question for Republicans?

Hoover also pointed to a couple of FaceBook pages. If you are a Republican, you can sign up for the group Republicans for Marriage Equality if you'd like to show your support.
