No Mention of Same Sex Marriage in Indiana Republican Platform

By: Michael C. Fehn
Updated: June 15, 2012
The Indiana Republican Party's new platform says nothing about same-sex marriage, even though GOP Gubernatorial Candidate, Mike Pence, has sought a national ban in Congress, and the party's legislators have pushed to put a ban in the state's constitution.

Indiana Democrats, meanwhile, will vote this weekend on a platform that says the party is against the constitutional amendment, after being silent on the matter for the last several years.

The Republican Party Spokesman says that many issues aren't included in the state platform, which is meant to reflect the party's broad priorities.

Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate, John Gregg also opposes same-sex marriage.
