Alabama GOP Votes Against Punishing Head of College Republicans for Defending Gay Marriage

Stephanie Petelos criticized some party members' reactions to the Supreme Court's ruling on DOMA

Alabama Republicans voted Saturday to reject an amendment aimed at punishing the head of the state's college Republicans for publicly defending same-sex marriage — a rare, if minor, victory for gay rights supporters in the Bible Belt, and a sign of hope for conservatives who want to see their party embrace generational shifts on key social issues

Wow. Southern Republicans had a chance to shoot themselves in the foot over an inconsequential issue and they turned the opportunity DOWN!! Maybe they can learn.

So you are shooting yourself in the foot by having moral values? No wonder Libertarians are so screwed up.

BTW, Calling yourself Christ is not going to encourage people to think you are serious about anything. In fact I consider it mocking and it speaks volumes about what you are.

Shouldn't you be reading the bible or something?
