Schumer’s plan could help turn scores of voters against anti-gay Republicans in November.

Political momentum will be a determining factor in Senate leader Chuck Schumer’s calculations about whether to bring the Marriage Equality Act up for a vote.

Sen. Lindsey Graham – who supported a constitutional amendment to ban states from recognizing same-sex marriages – said the government should stay out of the marriage business.

Republican Senate candidates have made clear they support an erosion of equality protections, making their extremist views on marriage equality, abortion access, and other freedoms central to their campaigns.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) is worried that groups that oppose same-sex marriage “will be challenged on their tax policy and will immediately become a target of this federal government.”

Mitch McConnell?!?

With his vocal opposition to LGBTQ rights and general callousness, the former Presidential candidate personified many of the traits that are now considered essential for GOP leaders.

The favorites to replace five retiring GOP Senators are pushing for a Trump-ier Senate where the chamber becomes a giant Fox News set, and they all play Tucker Carlson.

Would-be Senators are trying to outdo each other in the race to prove themselves as the most Trumpiest candidate of them all.

Thanks to arcane Senate rules, Democrats need ten Republican votes to pass the Equality Act. That’s a very tall order.

The Senator is known for bucking the Republican Party to favor marriage equality. But he’s also voted in favor of Trump and his anti-LGBTQ advocates.

At age 40, new Second Circuit Judge Steven Menashi probably has at least a quarter century ahead in which he can poison the law against us.

It’s anybody’s guess whether any of these Republicans will run, but they could potentially move the Republican field toward LGBT equality.

She was 14. He was 32. And she’s not the only one claiming inappropriate behavior from Moore.

“We should not turn anyone away who is willing and able to serve our country, period. The president is wrong.”

Ivanka Trump’s rabbi, Tim Tebow, and John Kasich are among those who have refused Trump’s invitations to speak next week.

CINCINNATI — Ohio Sen. Rob Portman says he will not run for president in 2016, choosing instead to seek a second term in the Senate over the Republican nomination for the White House.

LEBANON, Ohio — For better or for worse, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman’s political future has become tied to same-sex marriage. The Republican who was on Mitt Romney’s running mate short list two years ago is considering his own 2016 presidential run. But such a plan could be complicated by the fallout from Portman’s newfound support for same-sex marriage…

WASHINGTON — It took just a few words for the Supreme Court to deal with the question of whether gay marriage is legal. For Republicans thinking about running for the White House in 2016, it won’t be that easy. The court’s decision Monday to reject appeals from five states that sought to prohibit same-sex marriage reignited a debate inside the GOP…

COLUMBIS, Ohio — U.S. Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), the first GOP senator to support marriage equality for same-sex couples, says he’s not a fan of Monday’s federal court ruling that would force the state to recognize same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions.
